usb: quirks: add NO_LPM quirk for RTL8153 based ethernet adapters
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We have been receiving bug reports that ethernet connections over
RTL8153 based ethernet adapters stops working after a while with
errors like these showing up in dmesg when the ethernet stops working:

[12696.189484] r8152 6-1:1.0 enp10s0u1: Tx timeout
[12702.333456] r8152 6-1:1.0 enp10s0u1: Tx timeout
[12707.965422] r8152 6-1:1.0 enp10s0u1: Tx timeout

This has been reported on Dell WD15 docks, Belkin USB-C Express Dock 3.1
docks and with generic USB to ethernet dongles using the RTL8153
chipsets. Some users have tried adding usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k to
the kernel commandline and all users who have tried this report that
this fixes this.

Also note that we already have an existing NO_LPM quirk for the RTL8153
used in the Microsoft Surface Dock (where it uses a different usb-id).

This commit adds a NO_LPM quirk for the generic Realtek RTL8153
0bda:8153 usb-id, fixing the Tx timeout errors on these devices.
