This commit enables the use of the r8153_ecm driver, introduced with
commit c1aedf015e ("net/usb/r8153_ecm: support ECM mode for
RTL8153") for the Lenovo Powered USB-C Hub (17ef:721e) based on the
Realtek RTL8153B chip.
This results in the following driver preference:
- if r8152 is available, use the r8152 driver
- if r8152 is not available, use the r8153_ecm driver
This is done to prevent the NIC from constantly sending pause frames
when the host system enters standby (fixed by using the r8152 driver
in "r8152: Add Lenovo Powered USB-C Travel Hub"), while still allowing
the device to work with the r8153_ecm driver as a fallback.

Support ECM mode based on cdc_ether with relative mii functions,
when CONFIG_USB_RTL8152 is not set, or the device is not supported
by r8152 driver.
Both r8152 and r8153_ecm would check the return value of
rtl8152_get_version() in porbe(). If rtl8152_get_version()
return none zero value, the r8152 is used for the device
with vendor mode. Otherwise, the r8153_ecm is used for the
device with ECM mode.
