Some RTL8211E chips have broken GbE function, which needs a hack to fix. Currently only some Pine64+ boards are known to used this broken batch of RTL8211E chips. Enable this hack when a certain device tree property is set. As this hack is not documented on the datasheet at all, it contains magic numbers, and could not be revealed. These magic numbers are received from Realtek via Pine64.
