It may not apply in this particular case as Aspeed did write the original driver and it is polite to work with previous authors when respinning a patchset, but in general there is no need to work with a hardware vendor before writing drivers for their hardware. Blocking a driver because that company might receive more support requests is not the kernel's problem.
