hmm, sorry but it's likely I missed something. Let me review the code
and so I come back on this.

the former.
These are for enabling/disabling the EEE and also to get the status.

I added these because the stmmac needs to have a timer to enter in LPI
tx mode. So this can be stopped by using ethtool.
I didn't define flags for supported/advertising/lp_advertising because
these are fixed in the RO MMD register and it makes no sense to modify
them (hmm, I think :-)).
