Ok, TBH I haven't looked through all of phy internals. If we are fine
with the overall approach, I could use some guidance in the individual
patches and policies.

Unfortunately, mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() doesn't help here. It will
correctly tell that unconnected PHYs may_suspend but also that PHYs
connected to PM aware drivers may_suspend.

I tried it and it will also suspend the PHY taken by mv643xx_eth.

But actually, as phy_suspend/resume check for phydrv->suspend
themselves, we can just call it on !phydev->attached_dev and remove
the additional checks.
