Combine stmmac_enable_eee_mode() with stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi() which makes the code easier to read and the flow more logical. We can now trivially see that if the transmit queues are busy, we (re-)start the eee_ctrl_timer. Otherwise, if the transmit path is not already in LPI mode, we ask the hardware to enter LPI mode. I believe that now we can see better what is going on here, this shows that there is a bug with the software LPI timer implementation. The LPI timer is supposed to define how long after the last transmittion completed before we start signalling LPI. However, this code structure shows that if all transmit queues are empty, and stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi() is called immediately after cleaning the transmit queue, we will instruct the hardware to start signalling LPI immediately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
