Many systems report having an Realtek adapter when in fact they don't. I'm agnostic about this change but at one time I had an internal bug report because my VF driver *didn't* report phys_id. I'll keep this email around if my tester writes up a big for me.

This device lies about supporting phys_id. Remove it and just let the upper layer report not supported.
