So there's no efi_capsule_identify_image() function anywhere - this wants to be 
efi_capsule_setup_info(), right?

I have edited the changelog accordingly.

BTW., there's no need to further put this behind a Kconfig option: the quirk seems 
targeted enough, and the whole point of runtime quirks is so that can be applied 
safely within generic kernels. Turning them off via Kconfig seems wrong.
