Hm. It would be really useful to have a kernel build option which
*disables* all the workarounds we've ever put in for broken firmware.

Every deviation from the spec (or common sense), however minor, should
show up as a clear failure. Even the ones we *have* been able to work
around, because we still want them *fixed*.

And there's a school of thought that says we should brick as many
Samsung machines as possible, if they actually turn up without having
fixed that. A stress test for the NV storage is actually a really good
idea...
