... and while that is being fixed, maybe the stupid code in
stmmac_resume() can also be fixed:

        rtnl_lock();
        if (device_may_wakeup(priv->device) && priv->plat->pmt) {
                phylink_resume(priv->phylink);
        } else {
                phylink_resume(priv->phylink);
                if (device_may_wakeup(priv->device))
                        phylink_speed_up(priv->phylink);
        }
        rtnl_unlock();

        rtnl_lock();

1. phylink_resume() is always called after that first rtnl_lock(), so
there's no point it being stupidly in each side of the if().

2. the rtnl_unlock() followed by rtnl_lock() is completely unnecessary.

Thanks.
