I haven't used the runtime PM API that this driver uses. I don't know
much about how it works. What are the rules here? By checking for
netif_running(), are you intending to rely on the pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
call from ndo_open(), which is released with pm_runtime_put() at
ndo_stop() time?

I see some inconsistencies I don't quite understand.

am65_cpsw_nuss_ndo_slave_add_vid() checks for netif_running() then calls
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() anyway.

am65_cpsw_setup_mqprio() allows changing the offload even when the link
is down (which is more user-friendly anyway) and performs the pm_runtime_get_sync()
call itself.
