En-Wei reported that traffic breaks if cable is unplugged for more
than 3s and then re-plugged. This was supposed to be fixed by
621735f59064 ("r8169: fix rare issue with broken rx after link-down on
RTL8125"). But apparently this didn't fix the issue for everybody.
The 3s threshold rang a bell, as this is the delay after which ALDPS
kicks in. And indeed disabling ALDPS fixes the issue for this user.
Maybe this fixes the issue in general. In a follow-up step we could
remove the first fix attempt and see whether anybody complains.
