You include the first two flags in your new device. I would like to see
at least STMMAC_FLAG_EN_TX_LPI_CLK_PHY_CAP always being set. The only
reason we have the STMMAC_FLAG_EN_TX_LPI_CLK_PHY_CAP flag is to avoid
changing existing behaviour and causing regressions. New stuff should
always set this.

If there is a reason not to have this set (e.g., PCS doesn't support
it) then we need to make that a PCS property and extend phylink's EEE
support. If there's something wrong in the setup that stmmac does for
EEE, then I'd like to hear about it as well.

Thanks.
