As far as I've been able to tell that would be pointless. Fixing the
classification would require a device-specific quirk in udev as the
standard logic looks fine. Somehow I doubt that we want a huge list of
quirks in udev for such devices that all systems have to run through
every time the udev daemon is activated.
So the only realistic place to solve this IMO would be in the installer.
We'd have to detect such weird devices, add the quirk rule in a file in
/etc/udev/rules.d/ and either unload/reload the driver or ask the user to
unplug/reconnect the device.
