r8169: sync with vendor's driver
- add several PCI ID for the PCI-E adapters ;
- new identification strings ;
- the RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_ defines have been renamed to closely match the
out-of-tree driver. It makes the comparison less hairy ;
- various magic ;
- the PCI region for the device with PCI ID 0x8136 is guessed.
Explanation: the in-kernel Linux driver is written to allow MM register
accesses and avoid the IO tax. The relevant BAR register was found at
base address 1 for the plain-old PCI 8169. User reported lspci show that
it is found at base address 2 for the new Gigabit PCI-E 816{8/9}.
Typically:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.: Unknown
device 8168 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1631:e015
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort-
<MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 0, cache line size 20
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
Region 0: I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
Region 2: Memory at ff7ff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
^^^^^^^^
So far I have not received any lspci report for the 0x8136 and
Realtek's driver do not help: be it under BSD or Linux, their r1000 driver
include a USE_IO_SPACE #define but the bar address is always hardcoded
to 1 in the MM case. :o/
- the 8168 has been reported to require an extra alignment for its receive
buffers. The status of the 8167 and 8136 is not known in this regard.
