It's unclear where these entries came from and also the r8101
vendor driver doesn't mention any such chip type. So let's
remove these entries.

Hmmm... does it really hurt anything to keep them in there?

Maybe we think these chips don't exist, but it would be a real
shame to brake someone's setup when we really didn't need to.

Not really.

such a chip version. But there was none. To be on the safe side,
let me check with Realtek directly.

That's a great idea, let us know what you find out.

Realtek suggested to keep the two chip definitions.
Supposedly RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_15 is the same as RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12,
and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_14 is the same as RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11.
So let's keep it as it is.
