    r8169: improve RTL8168g PHY suspend quirk · acb58657
    Heiner Kallweit authored
    According to Realtek the ERI register 0x1a8 quirk is needed to work
    around a hw issue with the PHY on RTL8168g. The register needs to be
    changed before powering down the PHY. Currently we don't meet this
    requirement, however I'm not aware of any problems caused by this.
    Therefore I see the change as an improvement.
    
    The PHY driver has no means to access the chip ERI registers,
    therefore we have to intercept MDIO writes to BMCR register.
    If the BMCR_PDOWN bit is going to be set, then let's apply the
    quirk before actually powering down the PHY.
