missing support for certain realtek 8125-chip

missing support for certain realtek 8125-chip

[netdev]

hi.

we've got a odroid h2+ from hardkernel with two realtek 8125 chips
onboard, but the r8169-driver doesn't work with them.

on module-load we got "unknown chip XID 641" for both.

the chips themselves are labled as:

RTL 8125B
  JCS07H2
     GK08

maybe it's only an additional line in mac_info to support these chips,
but no one here is experienced enough to decide/try this.


it would be nice, if someone here with more experience can say something
about or perhaps add support for that chip.

thanks.

regards

sh-ks

Kernel 5.9 comes with support for RTL8125B.
There's a number of related discussions in the Odroid forums, see e.g. here:
