Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC 0/5] Update r8152 to version two

This patch integrates the version-two r8152 drivers from Realtek into
the kernel. I am new to kernel development, so apologies if I make
newbie mistakes.

I have tested the updated module in v6.1 on my machine, without any
issues.

A final note, when I removed all the code for earlier kernel versions,
the header r8152_compatibility.h reduced dramatically in size. This
leads me to suspect that some of the headers like <linux/init.h> are no
longer  needed. However, I left them in there just in case.

Albert Zhou (5):
  net: move back netif_set_gso_max helpers
  r8152: update to version two
  r8152: remove backwards compatibility
  r8152: merge header into source
  r8152: remove redundant code
