    r8152: disable the ECM mode · 10c32717
    hayeswang authored
    There are known issues for switching the drivers between ECM mode and
    vendor mode. The interrup transfer may become abnormal. The hardware
    may have the opportunity to die if you change the configuration without
    unloading the current driver first, because all the control transfers
    of the current driver would fail after the command of switching the
    configuration.
    
    Although to use the ecm driver and vendor driver independently is fine,
    it may have problems to change the driver from one to the other by
    switching the configuration. Additionally, now the vendor mode driver
    is more powerful than the ECM driver. Thus, disable the ECM mode driver,
    and let r8152 to set the configuration to vendor mode and reset the
    device automatically.
