[Impact]
r8169 failed to establish connection after the fix for LP: #1752772
landed.

[Fix]
Accepts BIOS WoL settings again, and disables MSI-X for certain chip
revisions.

[Test]
Users confirmed the fix worked for them.

[Regression Potential]
Low. This brings back the old behavior for both WoL and MSI.

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  r8169: restore previous behavior to accept BIOS WoL settings
  r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8168g

Jian-Hong Pan (1):
  r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8106e
