We want to keep the tx_lpi_timer value so that it can be used again

The user doesn't have to figure out what value to use if he just wants
to use the default or the last value.

I don't understand.  If the user is enabling EEE, we take all the
parameters.  If he is disabling, we don't take any of the parameters.
