I'm just curious, how would you suggest they debug and maintain support for that hardware, without even owning that particular device? It seems like anything they do would just be a wild guess as to whether it actually works or not. In my experience with this specialized datacenter hardware, if people want any of this stuff fixed (in userspace or in the kernel) it usually falls on the hardware vendor to hire some developers to fix it and upstream it, or at the very least donate some hardware to the upstream project so they can test properly.
