If it's not working, that's a bug and should [ideally] be fixed,
particularly so if it's a regression.  Not necessarily by uploading a whole
new upstream version, but by backporting the changes made to the particular
driver if possible.

If it's isolated to that one driver and the status of that one driver is
that is "doesn't work", then this isn't a particularly risky thing to do.

I agree, I think it would be useful to highlight any known regressions in
the release notes as in some ways these are even more important than plain
"known bugs".
