I agree that this is far from ideal -- I have to deal with this
all the time. But I also appreciate that some vendors do
actually bother to contribute some base code to support their
designs, even if I have to go in and fix it.

The vendors need to do better job at establishing a framework to
solicit fixes, improvements and new code from their customers,
integrate it, and feed it up the tree into the mainline. It is
clearly to their benefit.
