sky2: sky2 FE+ receive status workaround

The Yukon FE+ chip appears to have a hardware glitch that causes bogus
receive status values to be posted. The data in the packet is good, but
the status value is random garbage.  As a temporary workaround until the
problem is better understood, implement the workaround the vendor driver
used of ignoring the status value on this chip.

Since this means trusting dodgy hardware values; add additional checking
of the receive packet length.
