What is the policy in the kernel sources for the name of the manufacturer?
This driver never had special support for the EXAR chips when it was still EXAR.
Since 2017 it is now part of MaxLinear. Should the driver use the name of the
original manufacturer or the name of the manufacturer at the time of addition
to the sources?

Kind regards,
Maarten
