The HWREV of my cards are RTK_HWREV_8168C_SPIN2 then sc_rev is 24.
The patch makes the driver write to RTK_LDPS _only_ when the chip
is RTL8169/8169S/8110S/8110SB/8111SC (sc_rev is 1,3,4 or 5).
If sc_rev == 24 then it doesn't write RTK_LDPS.
The driver always wrote this resister before this patch.

Writing this resister when sc_rev == 24 causes some problems
in my environment. I dont know why it happens.
