[RFC PATCH net-next 3/3] net: phy: realtek: convert RTL8211F to .disable_autonomous_eee

From: Nicolai Buchwitz

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 05:09:09 EST


The RTL8211F previously unconditionally disabled PHY-mode EEE in
config_init. Convert this to use the new .disable_autonomous_eee
callback so it is only disabled when the MAC indicates EEE support
via phy_support_eee().

This preserves PHY-autonomous EEE for MACs that do not support EEE,
while still disabling it when the MAC manages LPI.
