[PATCH 3.18 07/13] net: stmmac: Fix a race in EEE enable callback

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jose Abreu <jose.abreu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8a7493e58ad688eb23b81e45461c5d314f4402f1 ]

We are saving the status of EEE even before we try to enable it. This
leads to a race with XMIT function that tries to arm EEE timer before we
set it up.

Fix this by only saving the EEE parameters after all operations are
performed with success.
