Hi Jerome

I like the direction this patchset is taking. But hex values are
pretty unfriendly. Please add a set of boolean properties, and do the
mapping to hex in the C code.

That would also make extending this API easier. e.g. say you have a
10Gbps PHY with EEE, and you need to disable it. This hex value
quickly gets ugly, eee-advert-disable-10000 is nice and simple.

Andrew
