So, as a one-off workaround to deal with what I consider a bad firmware approach I think this is probably the best approach barring getting firmware to move to an update properties approach.I do agree, this is probably the best option until the firmware is moving to an update notification.
Just to be clear, my proposal is to carry this hack until *Linux* can be changed to better support the current firmware behavior. There's little point in trying to get firmware to change now.
