Nicolai Buchwitz e987bc1d2e net: bcmgenet: fix broken EEE by converting to phylib-managed state 
[ Upstream commit 908c344d5c ]

The bcmgenet EEE implementation is broken in several ways.
phy_support_eee() is never called, so the PHY never advertises EEE
and phylib never sets phydev->enable_tx_lpi.  bcmgenet_mac_config()
checks priv->eee.eee_enabled to decide whether to enable the MAC
LPI logic, but that field is never initialised to true, so the MAC
never enters Low Power Idle even when EEE is negotiated - wasting
the power savings EEE is designed to provide.  The only way to get
EEE working at all is a manual 'ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee on' after
every link-up, and even then bcmgenet_get_eee() immediately clobbers
the reported state because phy_ethtool_get_eee() overwrites
eee_enabled and tx_lpi_enabled with the uninitialised PHY eee_cfg
values.  Finally, bcmgenet_mac_config() is only called on link-up,
so EEE is never disabled in hardware on link-down.

Fix all of this by removing the MAC-side EEE state tracking
(priv->eee) and aligning with the pattern used by other non-phylink
MAC drivers such as FEC.

Call phy_support_eee() in bcmgenet_mii_probe() so the PHY advertises
EEE link modes and phylib tracks negotiation state.  Move the EEE
hardware control to bcmgenet_mii_setup(), which is called on every
link event, and drive it directly from phydev->enable_tx_lpi - the
flag phylib sets when EEE is negotiated and the user has not disabled
it.  This enables EEE automatically once the link partner agrees and
disables it cleanly on link-down.

Make bcmgenet_get_eee() and bcmgenet_set_eee() pure passthroughs to
phy_ethtool_get_eee() and phy_ethtool_set_eee(), with the MAC
hardware register read/written for tx_lpi_timer.  Drop struct
ethtool_keee eee from struct bcmgenet_priv.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
