I'm assuming here WoL was not enabled, so the PHY did actually
suspend.

mdio_bus_phy_suspend() calls phy_stop_machine() which will set the
state of the PHY to UP.

During resume mdio_bus_phy_resume() calls phy_init_hw(). That should
do a soft reset, call the config_init() callback, and configure
interrupts. After that phy_resume() is called and then
phy_state_machine(). Do to setting the state to UP, the state machine
will kick off auto-negotiation, which will cause any auto-neg
parameters to be written to the PHY.

If you have set in fixed mode, the wrongly named phy_config_aneg()
will set the fixed modes, same as it would set the auto-neg modes. So
they should be preserved over suspend/resume.
