commit cb82a54904a99df9e8f9e9d282046055dae5a730 upstream.
This USB-C Hub (17ef:721e) based on the Realtek RTL8153B chip used to
use the cdc_ether driver. However, using this driver, with the system
suspended the device constantly sends pause-frames as soon as the
receive buffer fills up. This causes issues with other devices, where
some Ethernet switches stop forwarding packets altogether.
Using the Realtek driver (r8152) fixes this issue. Pause frames are no
longer sent while the host system is suspended.

[ Upstream commit c27a204383616efba5a4194075e90819961ff66a ]
Device id 0927 is the RTL8153B-based component of the 'Surface USB-C to
Ethernet and USB Adapter' and may be used as a component of other devices
in future. Tested and working with the r8152 driver.
Update the cdc_ether blacklist due to the RTL8153 'network jam on suspend'
issue which this device will cause (personally confirmed).
