 You don't have to fix the problem before filing PR.
 But at least you should confirm our driver has any actual
 problem, and you should also confirm if provided fix solves

 IIRC, jonathan@ asked on tech-kern how re(4) driver should

 should be modified before committing cardbus attachment.
 IMHO, we should keep such proper procedures.
