This reverts commit e1abecc48938fbe1966ea6e78267fc673fa59295.

The driver works on some hardware that skge doesn't handle yet.

+          This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. This driver is
+          deprecated and will be removed from the kernel in the near future,
+          it has been replaced by the skge driver. skge is cleaner and
+          seems to work better.
+
+          This driver does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset. A separate
+          driver, sky2, is provided to support Yukon2-based adapters.

+          
+          If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be

+          say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The module will
+          be called sk98lin. This is recommended.
