[ No applicable upstream commit ] After the referenced fix it turned out that one particular RTL8168 chip version (RTL8105e) does not work on 5.4 because no dedicated PHY driver exists. Adding this PHY driver was done for fixing a different issue for versions from 5.5 already. I re-send the same change for 5.4 because the commit message differs.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
