commit fe3981e85067854fc7b71dadcb500bf0337e16ea Author: ChunHao Lin <[email protected]> Date: Thu Oct 2 08:59:20 2025 +0800 r8169: set EEE speed down ratio to 1 BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2123901 EEE speed down means speed down MAC MCU clock. It is not from spec. It is kind of Realtek specific power saving feature. But enable it may cause some issues, like packet drop or interrupt loss. Different hardware may have different issues. EEE speed down ratio (mac ocp 0xe056[7:4]) is used to set EEE speed down rate. The larger this value is, the more power can save. But it actually save less power then we expected. And, as mentioned above, will impact compatibility. So set it to 1 (mac ocp 0xe056[7:4] = 0) , which means not to speed down, to improve compatibility.
