Bug Description

===SRU Justification===
[Impact]
According to commit log, there are lots of issues got fixed for Aquantia driver since v4.13.

[Test]
It's a request from costumer.
Unless Aquantia provides a reproducer, we need Aquantia to verify it.

[Fix]
Update Aquantia driver to 2.0.2.1, basically keep the driver in sync with Linux kernel v4.16.

[Regression Potential]
Low. The driver is the same one as in v4.16, so it should be well tested by Aquantia.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

@Time,
Backporting those patches are request from our customer and we really have no idea how to verify those fixes. Is there any way to keep those fixes ?
