I think I put this badly - without the reversion of the CONFIG_PM
addition, the link doesn't come up for the Vitesse driver but there
is no validation failure:

[    1.521768] macb 20112000.ethernet eth0: Cadence GEM rev 0x0107010c at 0x20112000 irq 17 (00:04:a3:4d:4c:dc)
[    3.206274] macb 20112000.ethernet eth0: PHY [20112000.ethernet-ffffffff:09] driver [Vitesse VSC8662] (irq=POLL)
[    3.216641] macb 20112000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/sgmii link mode
(and then nothing)

If I revert the CONFIG_PM addition:

[    1.508882] macb 20112000.ethernet eth0: Cadence GEM rev 0x0107010c at 0x20112000 irq 17 (00:04:a3:4d:4c:dc)
