Bug Description
== SRU Justification ==
* Impact:
RTL8153-BD is used in Dell DA300 type-C dongle and should be added to the whitelist of devices to activate MAC address passthrough.
* Fix:
Two commits in upstream need to be applied in order to support this feature. Both of them are in 5.0.

r8152: Fix an error on RTL8153-BD MAC Address Passthrough support
* Testcase:
BIOS settings must be properly set before verifying.
1.[Settings][POST Behavior][MAC Address Pass-Through]: Passthrough MAC Address
2. There should be two MAC addresses in BIOS settings, ex: [Settings]
Attach the dongle and see if MAC passthrough works.
* Risk of Regression:
Clean cherry-pick from mainline, and only add specific hardware to the whitelist. Risk is low.

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- cosmic' to 'verification- done-cosmic' . If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed- cosmic' to 'verification- failed- cosmic' .
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.
