There're some Pine64+ boards known to have broken RTL8211E chips, and
a hack is given by Pine64+, which is said to be from Realtek.

This patchset adds the hack.

The hack is taken from U-Boot, and it contains magic numbers without
any document.

Please contact Realtek and try to get an explanation about this.

Sorry, but Realtek never shows any idea to add more infomation about this.

These hacks had existed and worked for years.

Have you actually tried to communicate with an appropriate contact yourself?

If not, I am asking you to do so.
