Sorry for the big patch but it's not possible to split the driver into
small pieces. As mentioned the submission isn't a bugfix release of the
old v6 driver with small additions. The new version 7.09 is a new driver
based on the old sk98lin driver with a support for two new chipsets from
Marvell (Yukon EC and Yukon FE). Yes, I know. The patch is huge but the
Yukon chipset has a different buffer handling and many register and hw
changes
I will be out of the office till Thursday. After the LWE we will merge
the new changes from Stephen into the new driver version. We have also
small fixes for the 7.09 and I think I'll release the 7.10 at the end of
the next week.
Mirko
