I don't see any need for additional documentation.
What is in sk98lin:
* installation --> already covered by normal kernel install
* compiling --> ditto
* loading module --> ditto
* driver parameters
skge/sky2 don't have many and most are standard across other
drivers
This driver intentionally does not support configuration via
module
parameters because it is better done through ethtool

The driver has always supported both ports as separate devices. If you want to
use bonding or fail over that is available in generic kernel.

What hardware was that? Please send me an lspci -vv output.
I can add support for it. I avoided adding support for all the possible
flavors because some of the variants seem to only have existed on a test bench.
