The firmware_revision CSR key value has so far been a good method to guesstimate the bridge chip. I don't know a better one.

Case in point: Initio bridge, firmware revision 2.21.  Couldn't care
less about long INQUIRY, doesn't need skip_ms_page_8, *DOES* need
correctly detected cache type.

I agree.

I posted an improved blacklisting patch a few days ago. Among other small cleanups, I removed skip_ms_page_8 from the Initio blacklist entry.
