Hm.. ethtool do not provide enough information about expected behavior.
Here is my expectation:
- "ethtool --set-eee lan1 eee on" should enable EEE if it is disabled.
- "ethtool --set-eee lan1 advertise 0x10" should change set of
  advertised modes.
- a sequence of "..advertise 0x10", "..eee on", "eee off" should restore
  preconfigured advertise modes. advertising_eee instead of
  supported_eee.
I agree ethtool is not very well documented. However, i would follow
what -s does. You can pass link modes you want to advertise, and you
can turn auto-neg on and off. Does turning auto-neg off and on again
reset the links modes which are advertised? I don't actually know, but
i think the behaviour should be consistent for link modes and EEE
modes.
