The very first version of RTL8169 from 2002 (and only this one) has support for a TBI 1000BaseX fiber interface. The TBI support in the driver makes switching to phylib tricky, so best would be to get rid of it. I found no report from anybody using a device with RTL8169 and fiber interface, also the vendor driver doesn't support this mode (any longer). So remove TBI support and bail out with a message if a card with activated TBI is detected. If there really should be any user of it out there, we could add a stripped-down version of the driver supporting chip version 01 and TBI only (and maybe move it to staging).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
