That's fine in config_init().

That isn't necessary, and in any case, calling it will just cause the
AN enable and AN restart bits in BMCR to be set, nothing will be
reprogrammed.

However, at a later point, when the PHY is started (by phy_start()
being called) the state will be set to PHY_UP, and the state machine
triggered. That sets needs_aneg which will then call phy_start_aneg().

That then goes on to call phy_config_aneg(), which will either call
the driver specific config_aneg() function, or one of the two generic
genphy.*config_aneg() functions. These will then program the EEE
advertisement.
