We have posted our quirk patches on several occasions.

The challenge is how to work around duplicate identifiers while reducing
the number of cases where /dev/disk/by-foo would end up changing. Either
as a result of a firmware update or as a result of updating kernels.

The issue is pervasive enough that OCP has a defined EUI64 workaround in
their SSD spec.
