I had my doubts when choosing a commit for the "Fixes" tag, but since
my setup would most likely work up until 4051f68318ca9, I selected it
specifically.

On my laptop NVM write attempt does (temporarily) fix a checksum
and makes driver loading possible. Only after 4051f68318ca9, which
disabled this code path (because it broke someone else's setup), I'd
be unable to use my network adapter anymore.
