I'd appreciate to see such a statement if ALDPS can be enabled with the
RTL8105e !

You have sent ALDPS related patches for some specific chipsets. Now
would be a sensible time to check if ALDPS is correctly handled for
_all_ supported chipsets. I don't have access to your authoritative
resources. I can only outline something strange in the code wrt
ALDPS and the 8105e.
