Subject: [284/289] r8169: revert "Handle rxfifo errors on 8168 chips"

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?fran=C3=A7ois=20romieu?= <romieu@...zoreil.com>

commit 53f57357ff0afc37804f4e82ee3123e0c0a2cad6 upstream.

The original patch helps under obscure conditions (no pun) but
some 8168 do not like it. The change needs to be tightened with
a specific 8168 version.

This reverts commit 801e147cde02f04b5c2f42764cd43a89fc7400a2
("r8169: Handle rxfifo errors on 8168 chips").
