Summary

Intel documentation indicates that backplane X550EM_X KR devices do not
support Energy Efficient Ethernet.

Signed-off-by: Zach Vargas <zvargas@xes-inc.com>

Test Plan

Prior to this patch X552 devices (device ID 0x15AB) will crash the system when transitioning EEE state via sysctl.

Running 12.0 RELEASE FreeBSD from https://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/12.0, attempting to change the EEE state of an ix adapter:

root@bsd:~ # uname -r
12.0-RELEASE 
root@bsd:~ # sysctl dev.ix.1.eee_state
dev.ix.1.eee_state: 1
root@bsd:~ # sysctl dev.ix.1.eee_state=0

If you replace this call with "ixgbe_setup_eee", that would also help prevent a kernel panic if this sysctl somehow gets called without adapter->hw.mac.ops.setup_eee() from being set.

Thank you for the feedback. After applying (only) the suggested change, testing a EEE state change with my hardware looks like the following:

root@freebsd:/usr/src # sysctl dev.ix.1.eee_state
dev.ix.1.eee_state: 1
root@freebsd:/usr/src # sysctl dev.ix.1.eee_state=0
dev.ix.1.eee_staix1: Error in EEE setup: 0x7FFFFFFF
te: 1
sysctl: dev.ix.1.eee_state=0: Invalid argument
root@freebsd:/usr/src #

With the full patch, testing remains unchanged because EEE will be disabled for my X550EM_X KR device.
