It would be great to have more context as to why it was disabled in the downstream tree to know what we are up against, though I would not be surprised if there had been a number of issues reported.
I have started testing MT7531 with EEE enabled and immediately experienced
frames that wouldn't egress the switch or improperly received on the link
partner.
SoC MAC <-EEE off-> MT7531 P6 MAC (acting as PHY)
MT7531 P0 MAC <-EEE on -> MT7531 P0 PHY
MT7531 P0 PHY <-EEE on -> Computer connected with twisted pair
I've tested pinging from the SoC's CPU. Packet capturing on the twisted
pair computer showed very few frames were being received.

It seems there's less loss when frames are passed more frequently.

Looks like this is the way to go. I'm planning to submit v2 with patch 1
