Subject: r8152: "ram code speedup mode fail" error with latest RTL8156B firmware

Hi, all,

While looking at my kernel log today I noticed the following error:

> r8152 6-1:1.0: ram code speedup mode fail

The error appears when using the latest RTL8156B firmware (04/27/23),
but not when using the previous version of the firmware (04/15/21).

I haven't really noticed any malfunction or degradation in the
performance of my RTL8156B device, but I figured I'd bring this to
your attention anyways just in case either something really is wrong
with the firmware or the driver is simply printing the error by
mistake.

Thanks,

Forest
