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.
Patches are based on v6.2-rc3 and tested on a Renesas APE6-EK.
Changes since v2:
* added tags for patch 1
* patch 2 has been refactored to be less intrusive for easier
backporting
