Whether a problem would happen in practice depends on when phy_init_eee()
fails, meaning it returns a negative non-zero code. I requested Russell to
review this patch to shed light on when phy_init_eee() would return a
negative non-zero code so we have an idea whether this patch actually fixes
a problem.
