Michael Brown fff9281b84 [intel] Forcibly skip PHY reset on some models
On some models (notably ICH), the PHY reset mechanism appears to be
broken.  In particular, the PHY_CTRL register will be correctly loaded
from NVM but the values will not be propagated to the "OEM bits" PHY
register.  This typically has the effect of dropping the link speed to
10Mbps.

Since the original version of this driver in commit 945e428 ("[intel]
Replace driver for Intel Gigabit NICs"), we have always worked around
this problem by skipping the PHY reset if the link is already up.
Enhance this workaround by explicitly checking for known-broken PCI
IDs.
