How could the driver tell the difference between the device needing a
quirk compared to a rapid delete-create-attach namespace sequence?
Proceeding with the namespace now may get dirty writes intended for the
previous namespace, corrupting the new one.

The commit you mentioned tries to constrain allowing duplication where
we can reasonably assume the quirk is needed. If we need to do similiar
for this condition, one possible constraint might be that the device
doesn't report OACS bit 3 (Namespace Management).
