Sorry for this long delay in responding. I am not exactly sure if this
thing to do here. phy_stop() does not have a requirement to suspend the
PHY as it is currently defined. You may want to manually suspend the PHY
after a phy_stop() by explicitly calling phy_suspend().

Let me think about it some more.
