I'm confused by the comment. I was under impression the custom "profile" 
is just a framework construct when the _framework_ couldn't find a 
consistent profile? How can a driver decide to "support it"? It sounds 
like a driver overstepping its intended domain of operation.

If the intention really is for the driver to "support" or "not support" 
custom profile, then you should adjust the commit message of the patch
which introduced it.
