commit 8f70920f2f2a699b4ad35e625071cd92f4ba6ca3

    sky2: GPIO register
    
    The General Purpose I/O register is yet another hardware workaround

    but for bug compatiable.

    sky2: enable clocks before probe
    
    Catch-22: On Yukon EX (88E8071) need to have internal clocks enabled
    before reading chip id. It is harmless on other chips.
