Sounds like a Linus Torvalds qoute. And he is not wrong

  Indeed it is: > > It works perfectly and exactly as it is defined to work by the rules. > Getting the rules correct == 'the concept of "working"'. Don't be silly. You're entirely ignoring the concept of hardware bugs. Which is one very likely reason for this whole discussion in the first place. ANYBODY who does driver development without taking the real world into account is a dangerous person. Stacks of papers, diagrams and rules are absolutely WORTHLESS if you can't just understand the fact that documentation is nothing more than a guide-line. Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, THEN, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver. I'm continually amazed and absolutely scared silly by your blind trust in paperwork, whether it be standards or committees or vendor documentation.
