Yes, and other HBA vendors have done the same (although thankfully this practice appears to be going out of fashion).
Personally, I find SAS2308 orders of magnitude more useful and helpful than WHIZ-BANG2010 since the former tells me exactly what chip I'm dealing with.
Anyway. No big deal. I just think it's a bad habit to use the kernel for marketing purposes.
