This will be addressed in v3.

I did not find MODEL_ quirk reference in the PCI device tree, It is actually
used in platform device tree which is completely different from our PCI
based configuration, can you please provide some reference of MODEL_ quirk
which will be part of the PCI device tree?

AMD NAVI GPU card is the PCI initiated driver, not ACPI initiated, and also
It does not contain a corresponding ACPI match table. Moreover, AMD NAVI GPU
based products are already in the commercial market hence going by this
approach will break the functionalities for the same.
