Great. BTW, a small note for Hayes and reviewers: The commit
b75d61201444 ("r8152: fix the RX FIFO settings when suspending") links
to the report with a "BugLink" tag. You want to use plain "Link:" tags
instead, as explained in the documentation. Also: a "BugLink" tag not
that long ago made Linus write:

```
please stop making up random tags that make no sense.

Just use "Link:"
```
