That seems common to all these drivers? Can it be pulled into the
core?

I think we need to keep this warning. I don't remember the details,
but i think this is the kernel saying the hardware is broken, this
might not work, we will give it a go, but don't blame me if it does
not work. We need to keep this disclaimer.
