Bug Description

[Impact]
A new chip RTL8153-BND on docks require to be added to the whitelist to support MAC address pass through.

[Fix]
This commit adds check for RTL8153-BND chip which is in v4.20.
9c27369f4a13 r8152: Add support for MAC address pass through on RTL8153-BND

[Regression Potential]
Low. It doesn't change the code flow for the old RTL8153-AD chip, so it won't lead to regression.

    r8152: Add support for MAC address pass through on RTL8153-BND

    All previous docks and dongles that have supported this feature use
    the RTL8153-AD chip.

    RTL8153-BND is a new chip that will be used in upcoming Dell type-C docks.
    It should be added to the whitelist of devices to activate MAC address
    pass through.

    Per confirming with Realtek all devices containing RTL8153-BND should
    activate MAC pass through and there won't use pass through bit on efuse
    like in RTL8153-AD.
