Awesome, thank you very much for the pointer. I applied setting
'mac_managed_pm' at probe time, and now I can resume successfully.
Sadly, this is only the first part of the problem. I still can't get the
interface up after resuming, but I still need to debug this further.
At least, the problem with mdiobus_resume getting called is fixed now.

Thank you for your help!
