because as you said it's incomplete and doesn't really help sk and
further won't help once we get myk into the tree because sk will
also successfully attach and not work for those cards then.
What was also said is that we do not want to add the code for the
PCIe (Y-II) cards to sk but want to have a different driver.
sk already has too many if() in its paths and adding different
kind of hardware to the driver won't make it any better.

If you have time and interest in getting the PCIe chipsets working you
should have a look at the myk code posted by andre and the follow-up
comments.

Thanks.
