From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>
This patch adds support for chip RTL9151AS. Since lacking of Hardware
version IDs, we use TX_CONFIG_V2 to recognize RTL9151AS and coming chips.
rtl_chip_infos_extend is used to store IC information for RTL9151AS and
coming chips. The TxConfig value between RTL9151AS and RTL9151A is
different.

Seems all bits except bit 31 are used for chip detection. However register is
named TX_CONFIG_V2, even though only bit 31 is left for actual tx configuration.
Is the register name misleading, or is the mask incorrect?

@Heiner (double checking to avoid more confusion on my side): are you
fine with the register name? It's unclear to me if you are fine with
just the 2 merged patches or even with this one.

It appears that this patch has not been accepted yet. Should I resubmit it as a

I understand their motivation for the register name, even though I don't find it ideal.
But if their datasheet calls it like this, then ok.
So yes, patch is fine with me.

Previously, we used TxConfig for chip detection. But considering that the
remaining version IDs are limited, we need to extend it. To remain the
consistency of name, we choose TX_CONFIG_V2 to extend it. Bit 31 is
reserved and always 0. Only if nic link drop, it will be set to 1.
