Conceptually freeze would be more approriate but the side effect is
that the port is frozen and EH will try to thaw it by resetting it.
So, abort would work better.
BTW. For a plug event, what should I do ? freeze is fine ? Or just
schedule eh ? Right now, when plugging I see an exception Emask 0x10
etc... message in the log when plugging which isn't totally nice :-)
freeze() and please don't fight the EH messages from low level driver.
If it's too much, we need to update core layer but given the variety
of phy related bugs, I think we need those messages.

Thanks.
