Hmm, I find the firmware version rather informational and would even display it unconditionally (instead of with xhci_debug). It prevents the need to boot Windows to checkout if the latest version is installed, especially if someone is hunting a bug. I just dont't like the name, because e.g. in my case, it made me to have a deeper look at what that quirk does, because I had the hope it might solve a problem. Therefor I think it's useful to rename it.
