[PATCH 1/2] net: asix: add 0b95:1790 to AX88179A device list

From: Christian Hewitt
Date: Mon Feb 05 2024 - 05:41:29 EST


Add a generic AX88179A entry for the 0b95:1790 device id:

kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=1790, bcdDevice= 2.00
kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
kernel: usb 2-1: Product: AX88179A
kernel: usb 2-1: Manufacturer: ASIX
kernel: usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 00D24DC0
kernel: asix 2-1:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Failed to read reg index 0x0000: -32
kernel: asix: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -32
kernel: ax88179_178a 2-1:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Failed to read reg index 0x0040: -32
kernel: ax88179_178a 2-1:1.0 eth1: register 'ax88179_178a' at usb-0000:01:00.0-1, ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet, 20:7b:d2:d2:4d:c0

The change is tested by a LibreELEC (distro) user who reports the NIC to be working
fine (and logs support this) but the "Failed to read reg index 0x0000: -32" errors
suggest ax88178_info might not be the correct choice. I'm not a serious coder so I
need to "ask the audience" for suggestions on what more might be needed?
