Add replacement for phy_ethtool_get/set_eee() functions. Current phy_ethtool_get/set_eee() implementation is great and it is possible to make it even better: - this functionality is for devices implementing parts of IEEE 802.3 specification beyond Clause 22. The better place for this code is phy-c45.c - currently it is able to do read/write operations on PHYs with different abilities to not existing registers. It is better to use stored supported_eee abilities to avoid false read/write operations. - the eee_active detection will provide wrong results on not supported link modes. It is better to validate speed/duplex properties against supported EEE link modes. - it is able to support only limited amount of link modes. We have more EEE link modes... By refactoring this code I address most of this point except of the last one. Adding additional EEE link modes will need more work.

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 Restructured Text 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.
