I randomly clicked through the list, out of 10 drivers, 3 were written by independent devs, 5 by comapnies they acquired, and the rest by AD.
This looks just like some list of existing drivers, regardless of who wrote them.

It was done this way to try to make it easier for people to find the drivers, rather than rolling through kernel source. The Majority of the drivers are upstream (including the ones ADI writes), or are in process of going upstream, but some drivers - because of their development flow - will never meet upstream kernel coding guidelines.
