This is not an appropriate response. Your company made a chip, and people are going to repackage it and reuse it in their own implementations. Sometimes they will set jumpers incorrectly, add bugs to the firmware, and make other mistakes. When you are made explicitly awre of such situations, your driver should absolutely strive to handle that, rather than refuse to. It is mysterious to me when a driver author behaves in such a way that they seem to want their driver to work on fewer instances of their hardware rather than support more of them. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
