[net-next,PATCH] net: stmmac: stm32: Do not suspend downed interface

From: Marek Vasut

Date: Wed Jan 14 2026 - 03:18:20 EST


If an interface is down, the ETHnSTP clock are not running. Suspending
such an interface will attempt to stop already stopped ETHnSTP clock,
and produce a warning in the kernel log about this.

STM32MP25xx that is booted from NFS root via its first ethernet MAC
(also the consumer of ck_ker_eth1stp) and with its second ethernet
MAC downed produces the following warnings during suspend resume
cycle. This can be provoked even using pm_test:

"
$ echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
$ echo mem > /sys/power/state
...
ck_ker_eth2stp already disabled
...
ck_ker_eth2stp already unprepared
...
"

Fix this by not manipulating with the clock during suspend resume
of interfaces which are downed.
