Cut this garbage shit out. Hack on the driver implementation instead.

If it was upstreamed into the linux tree, then they have open sourced, with the appropriate license. So the driver is not fully functional, but what they have included could be the building blocks for someone to add the additional functionality.
It is a shitty practice, and if you want to drive adoption, this isn't going to do it.
At least they didn't make a marketing statement that they're open source purveyors and software saviors.
