[PATCH net-next v5 0/8] net: ethernet: Rework EEE

Hello all,

with Andrew's permission I'll continue mainlining this patches:

==============================================================

Most MAC drivers get EEE wrong. The API to the PHY is not very
obvious, which is probably why. Rework the API, pushing most of the
EEE handling into phylib core, leaving the MAC drivers to just
enable/disable support for EEE in there change_link call back.

MAC drivers are now expect to indicate to phylib if they support
EEE. This will allow future patches to configure the PHY to advertise
no EEE link modes when EEE is not supported. The information could
also be used to enable SmartEEE if the PHY supports it.

With these changes, the uAPI configuration eee_enable becomes a global
on/off. tx-lpi must also be enabled before EEE is enabled. This fits
the discussion here:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/af880ce8-a7b8-138e-1ab9-8c89e662eecf@gmail.com/T/

This patchset puts in place all the infrastructure, and converts one
MAC driver to the new API. Following patchsets will convert other MAC
drivers, extend support into phylink, and when all MAC drivers are
converted to the new scheme, clean up some unneeded code.

v5:
--
Rebase against latest netdev-next
Use keee instead of eee struct

v4
--
Only convert one MAC driver
Drop all phylink code
Conform to the uAPI discision.

v3
--
Rework phylink code to add a new callback.
Rework function to indicate clock should be stopped during LPI

Andrew Lunn (7):
net: phy: Add phydev->enable_tx_lpi to simplify adjust link callbacks
net: phy: Add helper to set EEE Clock stop enable bit
net: phy: Keep track of EEE configuration
net: phy: Immediately call adjust_link if only tx_lpi_enabled changes
net: phy: Add phy_support_eee() indicating MAC support EEE
net: fec: Move fec_enet_eee_mode_set() and helper earlier
net: fec: Fixup EEE

Russell King (1):
net: add helpers for EEE configuration
