Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: add suspend_halted module param

commit 1211ce53077164e0d34641d0ca5fb4d4a7574498
  ("net: phy: resume/suspend PHYs on attach/detach")
introduced a feature to suspend PHYs when entering halted state.

Unfortunately, not all bootloaders properly power-up PHYs on reset
and fail to access ethernet because the PHY is still powered down.

Therefore, we add a boolean module parameter suspend_halted with
default value of true. Disabling that parameter prevents PHYs from
being suspended when entering halted state.

Andrew, can you please re-test if disabling the feature does work on
your board? I tried a bunch of mine, but none failed to power-up the
PHY in u-boot.
