This patch adds two new functions to detect if Energy-Efficient
Ethernet (EEE) is supported and the way to enable/disable it.

You haven't fixed any of the problems in the previous version of this
patch.

Yes you are right,  sorry :-(

Below there is what you suggested and inline my comments.

Welcome advice!

you are perfectly right and indeed I wanted to do that.

I have added a function named:

    phy_check_eee

For example, the stmmac driver (only if its HW core supports the EEE
feature) calls the phy_check_eee to understand if the the points a) and
b) above are satisfied.

On the Ethtool side, within the driver the .get_eee will pass to the
user-space if the EEE is used (just point c).
The .set_eee should used to force the MAC to disable/enable the EEE (if
actually supported by MAC+PHY).
I had added this option because the Synopsys GMAC manages the TX LPI
path through a SW timer :-( that in this case can be disabled via ethtool.
Indeed, no action should be taken by the user for the PHY side.
The only thing that could be changed is the clock stop enable bit (3.0.10).

What do you think?
