See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html There is absolutely nothing vendor-specific here, it is a device variant driver. In fact in Linux basically nothing is ever vendor specific, because vendor is not a concept that does matter in any practical sense except for tiny details like the vendor ID as one of the IDs to match on in device probing. I have no idea why people keep trying to inject this term again and again.
