3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jerome Brunet <jbrunet@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 879626e3a52630316d817cbda7cec9a5446d1d82 upstream. Note in the databook - Section 4.4 - EEE : " The EEE feature is not supported when the MAC is configured to use the TBI, RTBI, SMII, RMII or SGMII single PHY interface. Even if the MAC supports multiple PHY interfaces, you should activate the EEE mode only when the MAC is operating with GMII, MII, or RGMII interface." Applying this restriction solves a stability issue observed on Amlogic gxl platforms operating with RMII interface and the internal PHY.
