You've got a copper NIC and I'm testing with a "flashless copper" NIC (8086:157b). The patch that caused things to break for you doesn't seem to be in linux-stable's linux-4.4.y branch, so this patch shouldn't be needed there. Though it does apply cleanly like you said. I did another sanity check against linux-4.5.y and found that this patch applies cleanly there and also still solves the problem for me. -Aaron S.
