I'm not sure whether this specific fixed QoS configuration should be
imposed on everyone. OTOH, following the principle of least surprise,
it's probably better to have this here, out in the open, than included
hidden in bootloader DCD tables (or not, depending on the board).
So if nobody objects, feel free to apply them.
