Have phylib keep track of the EEE tx_lpi_enabled configuration.  This
simplifies the MAC drivers, in that they don't need to store it.

Future patches to phylib will also make use of this information to
further simplify the MAC drivers.

To Andrew: I'm not sure this is a good idea, having read 802.3 recently.
EEE is supported on optical as well, which means that LPI, being a MAC
thing, would need to be controlled without the PHY present.

A phylink using driver would need to store the LPI config when it's
used without a phylib PHY. Maybe phylink can store it on behalf of
of the driver instead though.
