No, it has not been fixed - it continues to fail in mainline kernels.

That is a proposed patch for switching to the SMSC driver instead of

to switch to the SMSC driver for the -rc kernels.  Certainly just
applying the patch above results in something which is also nonfunctional.

The motivation here is to _fix_ mainline kernels.
