This leaves the question which driver sets backup mode in the SoC.
Whatever/whoever wakes the SoC later would have to take care that basically
everything that was switched off is reconfigured (incl. calling phy_init_hw()).
So it' more or less the same as waking up from hibernation. Therefore I think
the .restore of all subsystems would have to be executed, incl. .restore of
the MDIO bus. Having said that I don't think that change belongs into the
PHY driver.
Just imagine tomorrow another PHY type is used in a SAMA7G5 setup.
Then you would have to do same change in another PHY driver.
