Other legacy sections all say "did". So I think it's
best to be consistent and fix the only use of present

Using the past tense helps stress the fact
that current spec does not attempt to fully describe the legacy
device/driver behaviour: this text is only here to serve as
motivation for the transitional device/driver requirements.
