   The need to have the dummy RPM suspend/resume methods is gone since:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=63d00be69348fda431ae59aba6af268a5cf5058e

    Probably not, indeed... I just wanted to have 2 symmetric patches
for sh_eth and ravb removing the dummy methods...

   Yet you don't say a word about the big comment in ravb_runtime_nop()
that you remove. This comment doesn't really make much sense as this
driver currently has the RPM calls and ndo_{open|stop}() methods decoupled...
This stuff was copied from sh_eth.c verbatim -- I clearly overlooked it when
prepping this driver for upstream... :-<
   You can keep this patch as is (but not its description!) or have a separate
patch that removes just the big comment not making much sense, both options
would be fine by me. I will take care of sh_eth.c myself (not really sure
whether you have targets having this IP)...
