It's perfectly possible that nobody has experienced a problem due to this bit on a different post 8168c chipset: there's no clear problem report to support the opposite. I don't submit this patch for 3.0.x to help the 8411. It's only there to avoid suspend/resume problems with >= 8168c and I take Realtek's words as authoritative. Afaik it did not break things.
