Fix for new version of realtek r8153 not being recognised by the r8152
driver. The new version of the device with idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8153 is 6010 and treating it as if it was a 5c30 allow it to work.

The two chips are different. I don't think it is a good idea.
Maybe you could use the driver from the Realtek website first.
