[PATCH net v1 0/2] Fix 'ethtool --show-eee' during initial stage

[Choong Yong Liang <yong.liang.choong@linux.intel.com>]

The commit 49168d1980e2 
("net: phy: Add phy_support_eee() indicating MAC support EEE") introduced
phy_support_eee() to set eee_cfg.tx_lpi_enabled and eee_cfg.eee_enabled to
true as the default value. However, not all PHYs have EEE enabled by default.
For example, Marvell PHYs are designed to have EEE hardware disabled during
the initial state, and it needs to be configured to turn it on again.

When the MAC boots up with a Marvell PHY and phy_support_eee() is implemented,
the 'ethtool --show-eee' command shows that EEE is enabled, but in actuality,
the driver side is disabled. If we try to enable EEE through
'ethtool --set-eee' for a Marvell PHY, nothing happens because the eee_cfg
matches the setting required to enable EEE in ethnl_set_eee().

This patch series will read the PHY configuration and set it as the initial
value for eee_cfg.tx_lpi_enabled and eee_cfg.eee_enabled, allowing
'ethtool --show-eee' to display the correct value during the initial stage.
