That's a very lame excuse. All busses should have shutdown functions.
And any device that is just bypassing all of the existing bus logic is
still tying into the driver core directly (which is a bad thing by
itself, but that's a different matter.) And there's a shutdown method
there too.
So there is no excuse to not use it. Please, if they complain, point
them to me :)
thanks,
