Thanks for the fix! I'm 99% certain I tested the original code, but I
guess somehow I ran a different code path. I just put my old hacky
test patch [1] back on and re-tested this to see what happened. OK, I
see. In my case dev_set_mac_address() gets called at resume time but
then the address hasn't changed so "ops->ndo_set_mac_address()" (which
points to rtl8152_set_mac_address()) never gets called and I don't end
up in the deadlock. I wonder why the MAC address changed for you. In
any case, the deadlock is real and I agree that this should be fixed.

BTW: it would be handy to include the call stack of the deadlock in
your commit message.

Before your Signed-off-by you should have:

You seem to have moved this to the wrong function. It should be in
rtl8152_resume() but you've moved it to rtl8152_suspend(). As you have
it here you'll avoid the deadlock but I fear you may end up missing a
reset. Maybe you didn't notice this because commit 8c1d92a740c0
("r8152: Wake up the system if the we need a reset") woke us up
quickly enough and the previous reset hadn't expired yet?

In any case, please move it to the rtl8152_resume() function, re-test,
and post a new version.
