I feel like it's confusing to have two variables to keep track of here 
when it comes to the state machine and determining if you're enabled or not.

As an alternative can't you just use a single boolean?  You can 
initialize it as:

static bool prefcore = true;

When you process early params you set it to false if it's turned off on 
command line.

If it's enabled by the time you try to set up prefcore then when you 
check if the firmware supports it, if it doesn't you set it to false.

Your sysfs value can always accurately reflect the contents of this 
variable then.
