[PATCH net-next] net: fec: Always call fec_restart() in resume path

From: John Ernberg

When trying to resume from suspend the following can be observed:

fec 5b040000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout
Microchip LAN87xx T1 5b040000.ethernet-1:04: PM: dpm_run_callback(): mdio_bus_phy_resume+0x0/0xc8 returns -110
Microchip LAN87xx T1 5b040000.ethernet-1:04: PM: failed to resume: error -110

This is because the MAC is left powered down after resuming from suspend.

The MAC is brought up in both probe and open, so leaving it off in resume
from suspend is an imbalance.
This imbalance combined with a LAN8700R that is permanently powered
results in unusuable networking if the board would happen to suspend before
the link is brought up, and the only way to get out of it would be a full
power cycle.

NOTE: With this change the PHY ends up taking different resume paths when
the link has never been up compared to once the link has been up. Currently
the resume process is identical and just happens at different times, so
this *should* not have any unforseen consequences.

Tested on 6.1 kernel and forward ported. I discovered this when we
upgraded from 5.10 to 6.1, but the resume path in the FEC driver has had
this imbalance since at least 2009.

This is also why I target the -next tree, I can't identify a proper commit
to blame with a Fixes. Let me know if this should be the net tree anyway.
