This soft dependency works around an issue where sometimes the genphy
driver is used instead of the dedicated PHY driver. The root cause of
the issue isn't clear yet. People reported the unloading/re-loading
module r8169 helps, and also configuring this soft dependency in
the modprobe config files.
