I should add that the PHY register state may not be preserved on
runtime PM if woken via the ->reset_resume hook and I believe
that's the case when phy_init_hw() is necessary.

smsc95xx_suspend() currently accesses PHY registers behind the
PHY driver's back to enable Energy Detect Powerdown and it
uses smsc95xx_mdio_write_nopm() for that, hence that doesn't
deadlock *currently*, but the code should be moved to the PHY
driver, and then it will.

Thanks,

Lukas
