That's a familiar issue. Even if there's a kernel driver for one
interface, a user mode one might be appropriate for a different
interface.  (I usually think it's a design bug if an "end user" even
needs to know about a driver, but I read that comment as being
about the application developer, not the end user.)

And then there's that example of a device that's standard, but
uses vendor-specific management hooks to establish certain
non-essential (but desired :) capabilities.
