Have you read the datasheet for the PHY? It has three registers for
configuring the LEDs. There is one register which controls the blink
mode, a register which controls polarity, and a third register which
controls how long each blink lasts, and interrupts. If you are going
to save the configuration over suspend/resume you probably need to
save all three.

This last register is also important for WoL, which is why i asked
about it.
