This patchset fixes an issue with the OdroidC2 board (DWMAC + RTL8211F).
The platform seems to enter LPI on the Rx path too often while performing
relatively high TX transfer. This eventually break the link (both Tx and
Rx), and require to bring the interface down and up again to get the Rx
path working again.

The root cause of this issue is not fully understood yet but disabling EEE
advertisement on the PHY prevent this feature to be negotiated.
With this change, the link is stable and reliable, with the expected
throughput performance.

The patchset adds options in the generic phy driver to disable EEE
advertisement, through device tree. The way it is done is very similar
to the handling of the max-speed property.

Patches 1-3 applied to net-next, thanks.

Meh, there was a v4 submitted shortly after, and I objected to the whole
idea of using that kind of Device Tree properties to disable EEE, we can
send reverts though..

Sorry, I lost this in all the discussion, I can revert.

Just send me a revert of the entire merge commit
a152c91889556df17ca6d8ea134fb2cb4ac9f893 with a short
description of why and I'll apply it.

Thanks.
