Subject: r8169 needs CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY

The r8169 adapter in one of my machines was not working after updating
to a current kernel from the merge window, which was fixed by enabling
CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY.

So in addition to "select PHYLIB", should CONFIG_R8169 not also be
doing "select CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY" ?
