Intersting to mention is that the ProductID 0x07c6 is blacklisted in
the cdc_ether driver and the proper belonging r8152 is used.

The above ProductID can be found in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.19/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c

As long as the ProductID is blacklisted in cdc_ether and explicitly
listed in r8152 it should be safe to use the quirk, because the proper
r8152 driver will be used and it seems just to be a powermanagement
issue. 
And because it is a dock and conncted to the power grid proper power
saving is not neccessary.

So it should be safe to add this quirk here https://github.com/torvalds
/linux/blob/v4.19/drivers/usb/core/quirks.c
