Hm.. ethtool do not provide enough information about expected behavior.
Here is my expectation:
- "ethtool --set-eee lan1 eee on" should enable EEE if it is disabled.
- "ethtool --set-eee lan1 advertise 0x10" should change set of
  advertised modes.
- a sequence of "..advertise 0x10", "..eee on", "eee off" should restore
  preconfigured advertise modes. advertising_eee instead of
  supported_eee.

Seems like there is still one missing use case: if advertising_eee is
zero, we should use supported_eee value for "...eee on" case.

Other ideas?
