You are asked a question by reviewer and your reply is

(1) YES, I did C & P from driver X to my driver

(2) explaining why C&P is right goes beyond the scope of reviewing my driver

This isn't how things work in upstream.

If needed, talk to the upstream Intel networking folks, they can assist 
you catching up on upstream practices.

Or.
