This seems to be a workaround. And the same issue we may have with
other drivers too. Could you please alternatively test the following?
It tackles the issue that mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() is used in
suspend AND resume, and both calls may return different values.

With this patch we call mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() only when
suspending, and let the phy_device store whether it was suspended
by MDIO bus PM.
