Why does e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan unconditionally wipe the
information about the EEE ability of the link partner instead of performing
something similar to the eee_lp_ability detection part e1000_set_eee_pchlan ?

commit 63eb48f151b5f1d8dba35d6176d0d7c9643b33af
Author: David Ertman <davidx.m.ertman@...el.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 14 07:16:46 2014 +0000

    e1000e Refactor of Runtime Power Management
    
    Fix issues with:
    RuntimePM causing the device to repeatedly flip between suspend and resume
    with the interface administratively downed.
    Having RuntimePM enabled interfering with the functionality of Energy
    Efficient Ethernet.
    
    Added checks to disallow functions that should not be executed if the
    device is currently runtime suspended
    
    Make runtime_idle callback to use same deterministic behavior as the igb
    driver.

pm_schedule_suspend is already called from the link change thread
e1000_watchdog_task. You may consider removing everything from runtime_idle.
