commit 7c496de538ee ("igc: Remove _I_PHY_ID checking") upstream, backported to stable kernel 5.4 to support i225 Ethernet adapters.

What happened to the original commit message and signed off by lines, and why not cc: everyone involved in the original commit also?
I wrongly re-send this commit to mainline initially, then Tony guided me submitting to the stable tree with Option#3 [1]. Sorry I did not involve everyone in the original commit which I should. I re-send this commit because I encounter probe failure with i225-LM Ethernet card on liuux-5.4, and the original commit could not be applied to 5.4 directly, and this duplicated patch has been tested with i225-LM. I would like this commit is backported to linux-5.4, please correct me if I am doing the wrong thing.
