SDIO Marvel 8686 card

[Andrey Yurovsky]

To download the '8686 firmware, download Marvell's driver from their
site.  Click "drivers", select "Fedora / 2.6 kernel" from the OS list,
and download the '8686 SYSKIT driver.  The firmware lives in its own
directory in the .zip file.  Dan Williams also recently posted a note
saying that the firmware for these cards is coming to the
linux-firmware tree (that should include the '8385 FW).
