Workaround for broken marvell_yukon driver (r1a4 only)

Description

R1/Alpha4 only.

As reported in #8454, marvell_yukon hangs the system, making it impossible to download or even copy another driver in place. I am attaching a couple of patches that let us replace the marvell_yukon driver with an older working binary version at build time. It's a temporary workaround and it may not be pretty either, but it should get the job done for r1a4.
