FWIW, all of that should have been in the commit message. Also, "based
on analysis" - what analysis exactly? I have no way of thinking more
about the issue at hand other than, "Monish said things are like this in
a lab".

In any case, I believe the 970 ID predates that of the X5, and
destroying battery on those laptops and introducing boot time delays
isn't really okay. So let's just revert this until somebody can work out
better how to differentiate drives that need a quirk from drives that
don't need a quirk.
