patch 'net/r8169: fix RTL8168KB speed classification' has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/02/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/b16c3dbb9a0813bc63940394986433328599061c

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/r8169: fix RTL8168KB speed classification

[ upstream commit 503c13691b4969ea649c964c477ae6b4df629d58 ]

The RTL8168KB was incorrectly treated as a 2.5G device.
This chip actually supports a maximum speed of 1Gbps.

Fixes: 4e6ed7284f50 ("net/r8169: simplify config method check")
