So far we were sending link data as a string. It got some drawbacks:
1) Didn't allow writing clean user space apps reading link state. It was
   needed to do some screen scraping.
2) Forced whole PORT_LINK communication to be string based. Adding
   support for *setting* port link required passing string and parting
   it in the kernel space.

indeed, this interface looks a lot better than passing a string. It will make 
setting the link parameters easier.

Minor nitpick: I'm not sure about the naming of these attributes:

As far as I understand the code, they specify whether EEE should be 
adverstised / is enabled for a specific speed. Therefore maybe they should be 
called f.e.

SWITCH_LINK_EEE_100BASET and
SWITCH_LINK_EEE_1000BASET

Boolean?

Same here

As mentioned by Stefan, these should reflect that is is EEE-related.

In the current code swconfig_get_link does following:
link.eee & ADVERTISED_100baseT_Full ? "eee100 " : "",
link.eee & ADVERTISED_1000baseT_Full ? "eee1000 " : "",
this is what made me call flags like that. I'll rename them.
