This patch is on top of linux-next as the code re-uses the 2.5 Gbit EEE

Is 'linux-next' a typo? net-next should also have the EEE code, that
is the patch networking code takes.

I based it on linux-next, but the r8152.c driver file which is patched here,
is in both cases identical. The patch will work with net-next. I used
linux-next because I had planned to submit the patch for the next
kernel release cycle, but then was much faster than thought.
