Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 1/1] net: usb: asix: ax88772: suspend PHY on driver probe

After probe/bind sequence is the PHY in active state, even if interface
is stopped. As result, on some systems like Samsung Exynos5250 SoC based Arndale
board, the ASIX PHY will be able to negotiate the link but fail to
transmit the data.

To handle it, suspend the PHY on probe.

Very unusual, could not the PHY be attached/connected to a ndo_open()
time like what most drivers do?

May be this can be done to.
But, should not the PHY be in the same state after phy_connect() and after
phy_stop()?

Currently, phy_connect() and phy_start() resume the PHY. The phy_stop()
is suspending it. Since the driver calls phy_connect(), phy_start() and
phy_stop(), the resume/suspend state is out of balance.
In case some one will add for example something like regulator_enable/disable
callbacks in to phydev->syspend/resume callbacks, this would never work.

So, the question is, should phy_connect() put the PHY back in to suspend
mode? Or should the MAC driver take care of this?

At least currently there is no requirement that phy_resume()/phy_suspend()
calls have to be balanced. Drivers must be able to deal with this.
However phy_suspend() checks the state of phydev->suspended and skips the
suspend callback if set.
