I wanted to be lazy and have 2 cards in my PC at the same time. So I
tried putting my mini PCIe adapter to PCIe x8 slot instead of PCIe x1
slot.
That resulted in:
[ 6.681088] ssb: PCI-ID not in fallback list
[ 6.681251] ssb: CHIPID not in nrcores fallback list
[ 6.681433] ssb: Core 0 found: UNKNOWN (cc 0x8FF, rev 0x7F, vendor 0xFFFF)

Just wanted to put it on ML in case someone will ever hit that issue.
