Subject: Re: [PATCH net v3 2/2] net: fec: Suspend the PHY on probe

Hello John,

I'm adding Andrew and Russell to the thread as PHY maintainers and
reviewers.

I don't think that's correct. here phy_suspend() is being called before
the PHY got attached, so the PHY wasn't initialized at all at that
point (which I guess is your issue as the PHY is still in the state it
was configured into by the bootloader)

Following the code paths, it looks like this works for you because the
PHY you're using has a .suspend callback populated, but for any PHY
that uses the genphy driver, this will do nothing at all (the PHY isn't
yet attached to the genphy ops, therefore genphy_suspend won't be
called).

Best regards,

Maxime
