Set MACB_CAPS_EEE for the Raspberry Pi 5 RP1 southbridge
(Cadence GEM_GXL rev 0x00070109 paired with BCM54213PE PHY).

EEE has been verified on RP1 hardware: the LPI counter registers
at 0x270-0x27c return valid data, the TXLPIEN bit in NCR (bit 19)
controls LPI transmission correctly, and ethtool --show-eee reports
the negotiated state after link-up.

Other GEM variants that share the same LPI register layout (SAMA5D2,
SAME70, PIC32CZ) can be enabled by adding MACB_CAPS_EEE to their
respective config entries once tested.
