Please use stmmac_plat_dat_alloc() - this will allocate and initialise
struct plat_stmmacenet_data, and as of commit 7a6387dec8ce in net-next,
will also avoid the need to allocate  dma_cfg.

Populating suspend/resume means that plat->init and plat->exit
will only be called on driver probe (former), probe failure (latter)
or remove (latter). Please consider using these to ensure that
all appropriate resources are properly cleaned up in all cases.

Thanks.
