The EEE selftest is a 2-step test : - It validates that we enter in LPI mode with the irq_tx_path_in_lpi_mode_n counter - It then validates that we exit LPI when sending a frame, with the irq_tx_path_exit_lpi_mode_n counter. The current state of the test lacks 2 main things : - We don't know exactly when was the previous frame sent (it's from the previous selftest) - The timeout is hardcoded, while the LPI is entered after a user-configurable delay. On top of that, the timeout loop uses a pre-decrement iterator (--retries) that actually only iterate nine times, so 900ms while the default LPI value is 1 second. Let's therefore make it more deterministic : - Send a frame at the beginning of the test - Wait for more than the lpi timer value, we timeout after about twice the value, - Then send another frame, and verify that we do go out of LPI, also with a timeout. Note that the test's goal isn't to validate the LPI timer value itself, only that we enter/leave LPI mode.
