For some reason, my PCIe RTL8111E onboard NIC on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
motherboard reads as FFs when reading from MMIO with a block size
larger than 7. Therefore change to reading blocks of four bytes.

Ben Hutchings noted that the buffer is large enough to hold all
registers, so now all registers are read. Since regs->len is not used
anymore, drop the superfluous range check as well. (ethtool would
already ensure that regs->len <= R8169_REGS_SIZE).

Hi,

This partly obsoletes "r8169,sis190: remove unnecessary length
check"[1]. I do not have sis190 hardware, but since that is based on
this r8169 driver, would it make sense to apply this patch to sis190
too?

Regards,
Peter

Yes for the _REGS_SIZE part. Nobody proved that the memcpy_fromio split
is needed or even useful with a sis19x.

You're going to have to respin this since I applied the length
check removal patch already.

Thanks.
