Ah, yes, phylink_foo would make a lot of sense. I will fix in the next
version.

There is currently no consistency here between drivers. Some make this
call last, some do it earlier.
Thinking aloud...
Why would it fail? Most error reports are that phy_read() or
phy_write() failed. If that happens, the hardware is in an
inconsistent state anyway. It could be the PHY does not support
EEE. So an -EOPNOTSUPP or similar could be returned here. So long as
phydev->eee_active is never true, it should not matter if the value of
the LPI timer is changed here, it should never be put into use. Are
there other cases where it could fail?
Maybe we should make the order in MAC set_eee() function
consistent. It is just a bigger change...
