the problem here is that on one side people complain about vendors not
sending code upstream. once they start being a good citizen and provide
funding to send stuff upstream the feedback tends to be very bad as seen
here.

The feedback is not bad, on the contrary it is very positive and people
like Andrew want to help people like you write proper switch drivers.

If you were ignored, or rejected purely on the grounds of coding style
issues, that would be "very bad" feedback.
