I probably made a mistake while backporting some non-trivial changes for 
supporting recent kernels. With the availability of 470.223.02 I could 
verify my backport against the upstream version, drop a lot of unneeded 
bits and fix some discrepancies...

I've just uploaded 470.199.02-3 with these corrections (and support for 
Linux 6.6). This is not yet the new upstream release as I want to verify 
that these changes really fix the issue, as the same probably buggy 
backports have been applied to all older EoL driver series and need to 
be fixed there too.

Please test the new driver version on a recent kernel once it gets 
available on your mirror in a few hours.
