I guess some sort of common helper would be nice to avoid open coding
this fix everywhere.  But you would still have to modify every driver
where it is applicable, as there is no existing common API.

Note that this doesn't include *every* ethernet driver, although there
certainly are some examples.  There are also a number of serious
vendors, providing vendor supported drivers for cards with no known
issues of this kind.

Where exactly would you like to see this implemented if it isn't going
into those specific usbnet drivers?
