I wrongly re-send this commit to mainline initially, then Tony guided me
submitting to the stable tree with Option#3 [1]. Sorry I did not involve
everyone in the original commit which I should. I re-send this commit
because I encounter probe failure with i225-LM Ethernet card on liuux-5.4,
and the original commit could not be applied to 5.4 directly, and this
duplicated patch has been tested with i225-LM. I would like this commit is
backported to linux-5.4, please correct me if I am doing the wrong thing.
