I think such comments should be made with caution. In most cases where the vendor hasn't been involved, there has been some level of reverse engineering involved. So the driver can be based on flawed assumptions. Also, there's the issue of erratas. In short, just because we have a driver doesn't mean we don't want vendors to get involved.
