You really need to start paying attention to the commits other people
make as a result of development to other parts of the kernel.

First, see:

commit ef460a8986fa0dae1cdcb158a06127f7af27c92d
Author: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx>
Date: Sat Apr 6 15:16:00 2024 -0500

net: lan743x: Fixup EEE

and note that the assignment of eee->eee_enabled, eee->eee_active, and
eee->tx_lpi_enabled were all removed.

Next...

phylink_ethtool_get_eee() will call phy_ethtool_get_eee(), which
in turn calls genphy_c45_ethtool_get_eee() and eeecfg_to_eee().

genphy_c45_ethtool_get_eee() will do this:

data->eee_enabled = is_enabled;
data->eee_active = ret;

thus overwriting your assignment to eee->eee_enabled and
eee->eee_active.

eeecfg_to_eee() will overwrite eee->tx_lpi_enabled and
eee->eee_enabled.

Thus, writing to these fields and then calling
phylink_ethtool_get_eee() results in these fields being overwritten.

Given that phylib stores these and overwrites your copies in the get_eee
method above, do you need to store these?

phylib tracks this for you.

No need. Your enable should be conditional on phydev->enable_tx_lpi
here. See Andrew's commit and understand his changes, rather than
just ignoring Andrew's work and continuing with your old pattern of
EEE support. Things have moved forward.

Thanks.
