Similar to upstream commit 7f5ebf5dae42 ("ravb: avoid PHY being resumed
when interface is not up"), here is the fix for SMSC911x (patch 2).
Also, I saw a splat running 'ifconfig' when interface was not up. Patch
1 fixes it. Thank to Geert for a comment on this one.
Patches are based on v6.2-rc3 and tested on a Renesas APE6-EK.
Changes since v1:
* patch 1 is not a revert but a proper fix this time
