I think that is the key summary of this disagreement: this is about
power over what vendors are allowed to do with in-tree drivers.

Jakub is taking the stance that because the devices have use cases with
the networking stack, he (as a maintainer of netdev) gets a say on how
those devices are accessed across the entire Linux code base and its
various use cases. That the device can be used without a netdev seems to
be irrelevant.
