Phylink expects MAC drivers to provide LPI callbacks to properly manage
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) configuration. On KSZ switches with
integrated PHYs, LPI is internally handled by hardware, while ports
without integrated PHYs have no documented MAC-level LPI support.
Provide dummy mac_disable_tx_lpi() and mac_enable_tx_lpi() callbacks to
satisfy phylink requirements. Also, set default EEE capabilities during
phylink initialization where applicable.
Since phylink can now gracefully handle optional EEE configuration,
remove the need for the MICREL_NO_EEE PHY flag.
This change addresses issues caused by incomplete EEE refactoring
introduced in commit fe0d4fd9285e ("net: phy: Keep track of EEE
configuration"). It is not easily possible to fix all older kernels, but
this patch ensures proper behavior on latest kernels and can be
considered for backporting to stable kernels starting from v6.14.

+ * operation based on negotiation, it doesn't explicitly detail the internal
+ * MAC/PHY interaction, so autonomous hardware management of the MAC state
+ * for LPI is inferred from observed behavior).
+ * This hardware control, consistent with the switch's ability to operate
+ * autonomously via strapping, means MAC-level software intervention is not
+ * required or exposed for managing the LPI state once EEE is negotiated.
+ * (Ref: KSZ9893R Data Sheet DS00002420D, primarily Section 4.7.5 explaining
+ * EEE, also Sections 4.1.7 on Auto-Negotiation and 3.2.1 on Configuration
+ * Straps).
+ *
+ * Additionally, ports configured as MAC interfaces (e.g., KSZ9893R port 3)

The KSZ9477 PHY driver contained workarounds for broken EEE capability
advertisements by manually masking supported EEE modes and forcibly
disabling EEE if MICREL_NO_EEE was set.
With proper MAC-side EEE handling implemented via phylink, these quirks
are no longer necessary. Remove MICREL_NO_EEE handling and the use of
ksz9477_get_features().
This simplifies the PHY driver and avoids duplicated EEE management logic.
