Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Ethtool: add EEE to ethtool's documentation

under Synopsis:
	ethtool --get-eee devname
	ethtool --set-eee devname [eee on|off] [tx-lpi on|off] [tx-timer N] [advertise N]

under Options:
       --get-eee
              Queries  the  specified network device for its support in Efficient Energy Ethernet (ac-
	      cording to the IEEE 802.3az specifications)
       --set-eee
	      Sets the device EEE behaviour.
       eee on|off
	      Enables/Disables the device support in EEE.
       tx-lpi on|off
	      Determines whether the device should assert its tx lpi.
       advertise N
              Sets the speeds for which the device would advertise EEE capabliities.   Values  are  as
	      for --change advertise
       tx-timer N
              Sets  the  amount  of time the device should stay in idle mode prior to asserting its tx
              lpi (in microseconds). This has meaning only when tx lpi is on.
