[PATCH net-next 0/2] Introducing support for DWC xpcs Energy Efficient Ethernet

[Michael Sit Wei Hong]

The goal of this patch set is to enable EEE in the xpcs so that when
EEE is enabled, the MAC-->xpcs-->PHY have all the EEE related
configurations enabled.

Patch 1 adds the functions to enable EEE in the xpcs and sets it to
transparent mode.
Patch 2 adds the callbacks to configure the xpcs EEE mode.

The results are tested by checking the lpi counters of the tx and rx
path of the interface. When EEE is enabled, the lpi counters should
increament as it enters and exits lpi states.
