That is one of the differences between phylib and phylink. For phylib,
the adjust_link callback is performed while holding phydev lock. So it
is guaranteed to be consistent.

Yes, i think it has to happen. But i also think it will have a
beneficial side effect. Very few MAC drivers implement EEE. Having
this parameters will make it much more visible, which could lead to
more MAC drivers adding EEE support.
