I've tested this on Jetson TX1 (though I need a small patch specific to
Tegra on top to fix a preexisting issue) and things seem to be working
normally.

The output of "lspci -v" is identical before and after applying the
series (on top of next-20170427):

Note that the Realtek card is initialized by the r8169 driver and the
network card is used to boot over NFS.

My understanding is that this is what's expected, so:
