Subject: RTL8153 fails to get link after applying c7de7dec2 to 3.8 kernel

Hi Hayes,
"r8152: ecm and vendor modes coexist" patch prevents RTL8153 device
from establishing a link in the backport I've worked on for
chromeos-3.8 kernel. IIRC, r815x driver claims this device. Without
this patch, r8152 is able to establish a link with RTL8153 device.

This was the last patch in the series of 40 patches that I
cherry-picked and r8152 driver seems to "basically" work WITHOUT this
last patch.  I've not tested much yet...but DHCP worked and I'm able
to run netperf tests. I've not investigated why this patch fails and
probably won't.

If you have opportunity, can you confirm RTL8153 devices work for you
with any recent upstream kernel?

I'm testing with a Realtek branded device that lsusb says is:
   Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

cheers

    r8152: ecm and vendor modes coexist

    Remove the limitation that the ecm and r8152 drivers couldn't coexist.
     - Remove the devices from the blacklist of relative drivers.
     - Remove usb_driver_set_configuration() from r8152 driver.
     - Modify the id_table of the r8152 driver for the vendor mode only.
