net: ethernet: realtek: r8168 / r8169 driver fix.

There is issue with tp->phydev->drv: It never gets non-null value
while driver is probed first time -> modify the driver check to
trust MAC information fetched from HW.

Something does not run/register PHY interface properly ->
the attachment is done way later -> driver does not work
properly.

Function phy_probe is not called in first module loading.

Line from drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c witch is not executed when
loading first time:
--------------------
static int phy_probe(struct device *dev)
{
         struct phy_device *phydev = to_phy_device(dev);
         struct device_driver *drv = phydev->mdio.dev.driver;
         struct phy_driver *phydrv = to_phy_driver(drv);
         int err = 0;

         phydev->drv = phydrv; <--- This is never done in probe
                                    of r8169_main.c
-------------------

That line is not executed when driver is loaded with modprobe,
but when unload->reload is done, it is ok.
