Description

Add support for RTL8105E PCIe Fast Ethernet controller. It seems
the controller has a kind of embedded controller/memory and vendor
applies a large set of magic code via undocumented PHY registers in
device initialization stage. I guess it's a firmware image for the
embedded controller in RTL8105E since the code is too big compared
to other DSP fixups. However I have no idea what that magic code
does and what's purpose of the embedded controller. Fortunately
driver seems to still work without loading the firmware.

While I'm here change device description of RTL810xE controller.
