Because all the existing hardware have HID MSFT0101 we end up always
setting CRB_FL_CRB_START flag as a workaround for 4th Gen Core CPUs.
Even if ACPI start is used, the driver will always issue also CRB start.

This commit makes the invocation of CRB start unconditional.

I will include this to the next version of locale series if this is
accepted. Just wanted to make sure that this is OK before I make the
next version of the series.

Do you have some more historical data about this fix, I was wondering about this quirk before, when restructuring the start method parsing. 
The description is ' in practice seems to require both'  sounds not certain about the root cause of this.

I have a 4th Gen Core NUC where I experienced this issue. It reported
requiring only ACPI start but actually required ACPI + CRB start. The
comment could have been better.
