It might depend on hardware support... E.g.

I debugged it further the issue I had with this implementation on other
SoCs and it seems we cannot do RPM for those w/o reworking way the driver
is configured.

I wiped out the RPM code from this patch and just called:

pm_runtime_put_sync();		// [1]
usleep_range(300000, 400000);	// [2]
pm_runtime_get_sync();		// [3]

at the end of ravb_probe(); with this the interfaces fails to work. I
continue debugging it and interrogated CSR and this returns RESET after
[3]. I tried to switched it back to configuration mode after [3] but fails
to restore to a proper working state.

Then continued to debug it further to see what happens on the clock driver.
The clk enable/disable reaches function at [4] which sets control_regs[reg]
which is one of the System module stop control registers. Setting this
activates module standby (AFICT). Switch to reset state on Ethernet IP
might be backed by note (2) on "Operating Mode Transitions Due to Hardware"
chapter of the G1H HW manual (which I don't fully understand).

Also, the manual of G1H states from some IPs that register state is
preserved in standby mode but not for AVB.

I prefer to not introduce any bug by intention.
