I found another problem with runtime PM. When a device is suspended via
autosuspend and a system suspend takes place, there is no network I/O
after resume. Triggering a renegotiation (ethtool -r eth1) brings back
network activity.

Can you have a look? I guess that reset_resume needs different
treatment, but don't know how to do it properly as suspend is not called
before system reset (because the device is apparently already in
suspended state).

I think that this new issue can be addressed in a different patch, this
patch solves a more severe lockup. Opinions?
