** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
  RTL8125BPH 2.5 GbE controller is not functional.
  
  [ Fix ]
  
  This introduce support for RTL8125BPH 2.5 GbE controller by adding:
  
  1. linux-firmware (already upstreamed[1]).
- 2. Driver patch[2], which is expected to have an v2. 
+ 2. Driver patch[2] and its dependent patches.
+ 
+ The dependent patches includes:
+ 
+ 1. The PHY support for PHY ID 0x001cc841, which is needed for RTL8125BP
+ 2. Refactoring when support for other models  (e.g. RTL8125D, RTL8125D rev.b) 
+    were added.
+ 3. Dependent patches for the patch itself.
  
  [ Test ]
  
  1. Install the linux-firmware
- 2. Install the kernel containing proper driver patch
- 3. Test playback function of hedaphone and built-in speaker in the gnome 
control center. They should function normally.
- 4. Test audio recording with headphone and built-in mic. The recording should 
sound normal.
+ 2. Install the kernel
+ 3. Test basic network function (ping, firefox etc.)
  
  [ Where the problem could occur ]
  
  Error in the patches and firmware will make the said controller not
  function properly, which happens to be the status quo.
  
+ To avoid conflict, the dependent patches include some commits for newer
+ models, in particular the RTL8125D and RTL8125D rev.b. That however
+ doesn't mean those models are readily usable for now.
  
  [ Additional information ]
  
- At the moment of writing of this description, the driver patch hasn't
- been ready yet. I open this SRU bug early to help track things. Will
- edit the links and description once everything is ready.
