You shouldn't be too surprised.  In many cases device support for more
obscure products comes not from the maintainer of the actual driver
but rather from some random user who hacked in an additional board
profile (in many cases, not doing it correctly but good enough so it
"works for them").  In cases like that, the changes get committed, the
original submitter disappears, and then when things break there is
nobody with the appropriate knowledge and the hardware to debug the
problem.
