May be this can be done to.
But, should not the PHY be in the same state after phy_connect() and after
phy_stop()?
Currently, phy_connect() and phy_start() resume the PHY. The phy_stop()
is suspending it. Since the driver calls phy_connect(), phy_start() and
phy_stop(), the resume/suspend state is out of balance.
In case some one will add for example something like regulator_enable/disable
callbacks in to phydev->syspend/resume callbacks, this would never work.
So, the question is, should phy_connect() put the PHY back in to suspend
mode? Or should the MAC driver take care of this?
