This driver was already in the tree in 2.4.21, and it was probably integrated a long time before that. And at that time, the quality requirements for integration in the tree were much lower than they are now. This has some advantages, but also some drawbacks, which have been discussed during the last kernel summit, according to http://lwn.net/Articles/248195/ (end of the article).
