Tested-by: Théo Lebrun <theo.lebrun@bootlin.com>

Tested using a hardware loopback and a net namespace.

# ip netns add netns_eth1
# ip link set eth1 netns netns_eth1
# ip -n netns_eth1 a add 10.0.0.2/24 dev eth1
# ip -n netns_eth1 link set eth1 up
# ip a add 10.0.0.1/24 dev eth0
# ip link set eth0 up

... ping and iperf3 ...

# ethtool --show-eee eth0
EEE settings for eth0:
enabled - active
250000 (us)
        Supported EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full
                                   1000baseT/Full
