Remove some bugs, or improve its performance. Hardware drivers get updated all the time even when the hardware remains the same. I'm not an open-source absolutist: I think the pragmatic solution Linux went with is good here. But it's silly to suggest that the driver couldn't be improved if it were more open.

The topic is not the driver - it’s the definition of the lowest level hardware interface. It’s lists of registers and stuff like that; not things that can really be fixed by external devs.
