Might be a good thing of someone would work up a man page
paragraph to this effect.
As a more general question, what would be the right medium to
document such device errata as it relates to a driver? Is the
man page the best location or would it be better to add a
table near the top of the driver file which summarizes the
bugs and the workarounds? Is there a general consensus?

I think the BUGS section of the man page is correct place..
It could also include problems in the related hardware.
It's where people would look when they are having problems.
If you sent me a paragraph for the correct man page (it's bce right?)
I can commit it for you.
