Ethernet is working on harmony is working w/ & a/o my patches but cardhu is hanging as below:

root@localhost:~# ifconfig eth0 10.19.65.115 [  102.525245] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: unable to load firmware patch rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw (-2) [  102.951516] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25).
<System hangs here..>

1. Harmony is using Broadcom pcie Ethernet card and cardhu is using realtek one.
2. Enumeration and lspci seems to be fine though.
3. I tried applying similar patches for disabling LP2 for tegra 3 as well but it did not help.
4. Any idea/opinion?
