Subject: [PATCH 5.17 106/114] net: phy: micrel: Do not use kszphy_suspend/resume for KSZ8061

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@...x.de>

commit e333eed63a091a09bd0db191b7710c594c6e995b upstream.

Since commit f1131b9c23fb ("net: phy: micrel: use
kszphy_suspend()/kszphy_resume for irq aware devices") the following
NULL pointer dereference is observed on a board with KSZ8061:

 # udhcpc -i eth0
udhcpc: started, v1.35.0
8<--- cut here ---
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
pgd = f73cef4e
[00000008] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 196 Comm: ifconfig Not tainted 5.15.37-dirty #94
Hardware name: Freescale i.MX6 SoloX (Device Tree)
PC is at kszphy_config_reset+0x10/0x114
LR is at kszphy_resume+0x24/0x64
...

The KSZ8061 phy_driver structure does not have the .probe/..driver_data
fields, which means that priv is not allocated.

This causes the NULL pointer dereference inside kszphy_config_reset().

Fix the problem by using the generic suspend/resume functions as before.

Another alternative would be to provide the .probe and .driver_data
information into the structure, but to be on the safe side, let's
just restore Ethernet functionality by using the generic suspend/resume.
