Subject: 4.19-rc1: r8169 resume from suspend link negotiation issue

Since 4.19-rc1 (up to and including 4.19-rc3) there is now a problem
with the r8169 network interface when resuming from suspend - the
negotiated network speed after resume is only 10Mbit/s half-duplex.

There is no problem with 4.18.y, and when booting into 4.19-rc3 from
power-on the full 1000Mbit/s full duplex link is correctly negotiated.

Bisecting the kernel commits between 4.18.6 and 4.19-rc1 identifies
the following commit as the bad commit:

"r8169: remove rtl8169_set_speed_xmii"[1]

Before suspend: dmesg[2], ethtool eth0[3] - 1000Mbit/s full duplex
After resume from suspend: dmesg[4], ethtool eth0[5] - 10Mbit/s half duplex

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks
Neil
