Subject: [net-next-2.6 07/11] e1000e: extend EEE LPI timer to prevent dropped link

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

The link can be unexpectedly dropped when the timer for entering EEE low-
power-idle quiet state expires too soon.  The timer needs to be extended
from 196usec to 200usec after every LCD (PHY) reset to prevent this from
happening.
