We would need another idea on fixing this problem as there is following
order of function calls:

-> ksz9477_setup
-> ksz9477_get_features  (here we are supposed to use the MICREL_NO_EEE
flag)
-> ksz_get_phy_flags  (here we are supposed to set the MICREL_NO_EEE
flag)

The ksz9477_get_features is called early. 



It looks like the most optimal solution would be the one proposed by
Tristam:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg932044.html

It would clear the 7.60 per-port register with two ksz_write16
functions.

That exactly follows the recommendation for KSZ9477 Errata Module4.
