Yes, and other HBA vendors have done the same (although thankfully this
practice appears to be going out of fashion).

Personally, I find SAS2308 orders of magnitude more useful and helpful
than WHIZ-BANG2010 since the former tells me exactly what chip I'm
dealing with.

Anyway. No big deal. I just think it's a bad habit to use the kernel for
marketing purposes.
