Have you tested this with an Ethernet switch hanging off the MDIO bus?
It has a life cycle of its own, and i'm not sure it is guaranteed that
the switch is suspended before the FEC. That is why the MDIO
read/write functions have there own runtime PM calls, they can be used
when the interface itself is down.
