I won't figure what happens outside of the "many cases" statement.

rtl_reset_work is a hard reset. It isn't supposed to go shopping just
because the link seems to be established. Moreover you don't explain why
you need to vandalize rtl_phy_work (unrelated to any 10 sec timeout).

As usual nobody knows how it was tested (suspend/resume, change location
and port, etc.).

Please don't send me private only e-mail.
