I gave more thoughts to that and I think we would leave boolean
variables in platform data. It would be cleaner for users how they
defined quirks. Besides that any additional quirk or modification of the
existing one will produce simple and readable change.

Ditto.

Sounds like a plan. I think you are right, the property quite unlikely
can be changed run-time (though I have one patch regarding Braswell and
CherryView platforms that have a chicken bit to enable / disable the
feature). So, please, get rid of an additional boolean field.
