By forcing a certain mode via a Kconfig value, you are basically making it
impossible for distributions to do something reasonable here.

This needs to be somehow a runtime thing, and I'm pretty sure we've
had many other situations of USB devices which want to be run by
different "personality" drivers in the past.

Perhaps we can do something generically for USB devices for this kind
of situation and make r8152 use it.

Thanks.
