This last bit has me worried.

The MDIO bus is a shared bus with a life of its own.  You can have
multiple PHYs and switches on it. The PHYs can for a different
Ethernet MAC. Switch drivers will expect to be able to address the
switch when the interface is down.

The FEC driver did something similar for a while. I had to make MDIO
read/write runtime PM aware, otherwise i could not access the Ethernet
switch hanging of its MDIO bus.
