You have a version of the Marvell Yukon that was affected

Both the skge and sk98lin driver were fixed to check for this.
Without the fix, the chip will be in the wrong power mode.

The version of sk98lin driver from SysKonnect already had the
fix, so if your distro used that one, it would have the reset
the power mode as needed.

So, am I right in saying we can't do anything in skge to work around this to allow those older buggy drivers to work on the next reboot? More reports are cropping up, e.g.:

Given that it seems to be affecting the Windows drivers too, it would be great if something could be done.

Thanks,
Daniel
