A kernel driver has absolutely no business making decissions based
on current->comm, which can be changed by any userspace process.  This
is kernel programming 101.

Independent of that a check for a specific program as the callers makes
no sense whatsoever as a given program and change over time.  This is
not even something kernel specific but something that ever software
engineer should do.

I'm not agressive.  I'm just really disappointed by the amoubt of crap
that gets shovelled into the kernel and even more disappointed by the
abslutely lack of knowledge of some of the contributors.
