Hi Heiner
I think you need to look at your different runtime PM domains. If i
understand the code right, you runtime suspend if there is no
link. But for this to work correctly, your PHY needs to keep working.
You also cannot assume all accesses to the PHY go via the MAC. Some
calls will go direct to the PHY, and they can trigger MDIO bus
accesses. So i think you need two runtime PM domains. MAC and MDIO
bus. Maybe just the pll? An MDIO bus is a device, so it can have its
on PM callbacks. It is not clear what you need to resume in order to
make MDIO work.
It might also help if you do the phy_connect in .ndo_open and
disconnect in .ndo_stop. This is a common pattern in drivers. But some
also do it is probe and remove.
