In general ID reporting like this is a firmware issue, so it is not
directly related to the controller hardware.  However for cheap
consumer drives most vendors simply take the default reference firmware
and ship it with the minimum required changes.  So if Phison fucked this
up, chances are it will be in most of these controllers.

Yes.  We have to way to find out what actual controller hardware or
reference firmware a given device is based off.
