TSEC1 contains the MDIO registers for both TSEC1 and TSEC2.  Thus,  TSEC1
cannot be put to sleep if TSEC2 is active (plus, the phy timer would
have to be deactivated).  For now, the simple approach of never  sleeping
TSEC1 is used.

The PHY timer is part of the PHY Lib.  The PHY Lib has infrastructure  
to support suspend/resume.  Any thoughts on using that?  More in an  
another email.

If the MDIO registers had their own clock disable bit, then sure.  They 
don't.

As for the phy timer issue, it seems that phy_stop() doesn't stop the 
timer, which is probably a bug.
