[Impact]
Realtek 8117 is failed to be initialized on 5.4- kernel,
even failed to work after loading firmware on 5.5+ kernel.

[Fix]
Add rtl8117 support for 5.4- kernel.
On 5.5+ kernel, firmware should reset ocp_base, but not on r8117.
Correct the ocp_base in the driver.
Then it works well.

[Test]
Verified on hardware, link status is OK, iperf test result is good.

[Regression Potential]
Low.
Fixed issue, cherry-picked from linux-next tree.
SRU for OEM-5.6/U was already done. this is for focal because of more
commits.
Bionic kernel set rtl8117 as default r8169. It just works. no need these
changes.

Backport 0002 patch because of another upstream patch is already merged.

Heiner Kallweit (5):
  r8169: add helper r8168g_phy_param
  r8169: add support for RTL8117
  r8169: load firmware for RTL8168fp/RTL8117
  r8169: fix OCP access on RTL8117
  r8169: fix firmware not resetting tp->ocp_base

The descrition in the bug mentions that 5.4 requires additional patches.
I assume these are all the patches that are required. Can you confirm
this?

Just to make sure, this has been tested both with 5.4 (focal) and a 5.5+
kernel, correct?

Which commit has been cherry-picked from linux-next? If I see correctly
all the commits in this patch set are all upstream commits.

Thanks,

Yes. This SRU is for focal.

My mistake, when test the 5th patch is cherry-picked from linux-next,
after test I found that it's already in upstream. I should remove this line.

For the last 3 patches, I cannot without doubt say that this would not also have
some effect on some of the other chips which the r8169 driver supports. Was
there any regression testing on any hw beside the actual target platform?

Yes, tested on two other hw with RTL8168ep/8111ep.
