    r8169: remove TBI 1000BaseX support · e397286b

    The very first version of RTL8169 from 2002 (and only this one) has
    support for a TBI 1000BaseX fiber interface. The TBI support in the
    driver makes switching to phylib tricky, so best would be to get
    rid of it. I found no report from anybody using a device with RTL8169
    and fiber interface, also the vendor driver doesn't support this mode
    (any longer).
    So remove TBI support and bail out with a message if a card with
    activated TBI is detected. If there really should be any user of it
    out there, we could add a stripped-down version of the driver
    supporting chip version 01 and TBI only (and maybe move it to
    staging).
