I'm running it on an
em0 at pci0 dev 25 function 0 "Intel I217-LM" rev 0x04: msi, mac_type
0x1d phy_type 0xb
in a Thinkpad T440p with no regressions seen so far.
I'm not sure if anything here touches the I217-LM chip or not, but
given some of the quirks in your list, I'm hoping that it might
fix this bug that I've been experiencing for a while now.

It can take up to a week for it to show, so I'll run with the
patch for as long as I can and report back any findings. As
stated above, I haven't seen any regressions.
So far so good!
