I would prefer to have individual patches in the series adding support
for the new functionality of the RTL8157 in parts that also allow
developers to understand the differences, even if this functionality is
used only in the last part of the series.
Functions should be added with the first caller.
Since all of the functions defined for the RTL8157 are eventually only used when the RTL8157-specific functions are placed into the r8152 structure in the last part of the series, I will prepare a v2 series which consists only of one part adding 5GBit support as this can be done independently of RTL8157 hardware-code, and a second, large part containing all the code supporting the RTL8157 hardware.
