It may not apply in this particular case as Aspeed did write the
original driver and it is polite to work with previous authors
when respinning a patchset, but in general there is no need to work
with a hardware vendor before writing drivers for their hardware.

Blocking a driver because that company might receive more support
requests is not the kernel's problem.

Cheers,
Conor.
