igc: Work around I225 v1 minimum IPG erratum
I225 v1 cannot receive the minimum inter-packet gap required at
2.5 Gb/s. For affected back-to-back links, Intel recommends using a
15-byte transmit IPG instead of 12 bytes.
Program TIPG.IPGT to 0xb for pre-v2 I225 devices at 2.5 Gb/s and
restore the default at lower speeds. Avoid penalizing fixed I225 and
I226 parts.
