Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] r8169: disable detection of further chip
 versions that didn't make it to the mass market

There's no sign of life from further chip versions. Seems they didn't
make it to the mass market. Let's disable detection and if nobody
complains remove support a few kernel versions later.

Heiner Kallweit (3):
  r8169: disable detection of chip versions 49 and 50
  r8169: disable detection of chip version 45
  r8169: disable detection of chip version 41
