Unfortunately, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me; 0x2c800000
translates to RL_HWREV_8168E_VL, which is an older chip that should
never have required the handling of RTL8168G and later revisions (or
may not actually work when applying it). So r290566 should only make
a positive difference, if it changes anyting for that revision all.
Did the interface work before r290151, or actually before r281337?
Does reverting r290946 and r290566 locally make it work again?
Another candidate causing that breakage would be r291676 if the PHY
is an RTL8211F one. If you boot verbosely, you'll have a line in the
dmesg(8) output with "OUI 0x00e04c" in it. If the "rev." number in
that line is 6, you have an RTL8211F.
