This doesn't really tell me that the specified quirks will be XORed with
the built-in quirks. Maybe something like ...

[USB] A list of quirk entries to augment the
built-in usb core quirk list. List entries are
separated by commas. Each entry has the form
VendorID:ProductID:Flags. The IDs are 4-digit hex
numbers and Flags is a set of letters. Each letter
will change the built-in quirk; setting it if it is
clear and clearing it if it is set. The letters
have the following meanings:

Is there a reason to not use sscanf here like hid-quirks.c does?
