Well, no it doesn't. The way 53c700 implements it is that there is a common template in the core. The drivers just initialise their variant fields (for 53c700 it's name, proc_name and this_id) and the core fills in the rest. Admittedly wd33c93 doesn't quite get this right, that's why I cited 53c700.
