I'll apply this, thanks guys.

TG3 does the same.

The reason is that until we bringing the device up (and thus
netif_running becomes true) the device is left in the most appropriate
powered down state.

At least that is my understanding.

What is appropriate for any driver in this situation depends upon how
it programs the device before ->open() occurs.

I suspect the RTNL stuff here can be safely removed.

I think it's using it to guard the netif_running() check but that
isn't necessary.
