Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] net: phy: add PHY-autonomous EEE provider support

Some PHYs implement a vendor-specific autonomous EEE mode. Once EEE is
negotiated, the PHY can generate transmit Low Power Idle (LPI) without
MAC assistance. Linux must select exactly one LPI provider: enabling both
the MAC and PHY paths conflicts, while enabling neither makes a successful
ethtool request ineffective.

Thanks for splitting these out.

For the moment, i suggest you drop them. Lets get very basic support
in first, then we can think about EEE and all the nice to have
features.
