You only call dev_close() if the device is running. What if somebody
runs the self test on an interface when it has never been opened? It
looks like you will call phy_resume(). But since it has never been
suspended, you could be in trouble.

phy_resume() current does not check the phydev->suspended state.

Which means when you call phy_resume() in lb_setup() you are again
resuming a device which is not suspended...
