What is the actual problem that happens without this quirk? Is there some hardware defect in the MR 1078 that makes it fail when we disable decoding? Disabling decoding is important because it prevents conflicts with other devices while sizing and updating BARs, so I don't want to use this quirk unless it's really necessary.
