+ * This driver never worked properly and unfortunately data corruption is
+ * relatively common.  There isn't anyone working on the driver and there's
+ * no support from the vendor.  Do not use this driver in any production
+ * environment.

  * This controller is eccentric and easily locks up if something isn't
  * right.  Documentation is available at initio's website but it only
  * documents registers (not programming model).
