I've got reports that the Intel I-218V NIC in Intel NUC5i5RYH systems used
as a PTP slave experiences random ~10 hour clock jumps, which are resolved
if the same workaround for the 82574 and 82583 is employed. Switching from
an if to a select, because the list of NIC types could well grow further
and we'd already have to wrap the conditionals.

I don't think that it is acceptable to declare local variables inside a switch statement quite like this. At a minimum, a new block needs to be opened to allow the declarations.
