It breaks my old PCI Netgear 8110s (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03/XID 04000000). Once
the device is up, RxConfig is changed from 0x0000e70e to 0x0000000e (missed
write ?).

Is there any side effect / objection if this patch is removed from the
series and scheduled for a later time ?

If the current working code is kept as is, the 8168c/cp would still see its
RxConfig:bit 13 (RxHalfRefetch) enabled.
