Does anybody have an idea on what might be wrong in sky2_down?

I had a look into this, and noticed that we don't hold phy_lock when calling 
sky2_phy_power_down() in sky2_down(). sky2_phy_power_down() does some PCI
manipulation, so it's possible this could cause bad things to happen...

Does the following patch help?

Subject: [PATCH] sky2: Hold phy_lock when powering down phy

Make sure to hold phy_lock when calling sky2_phy_power_down(),
 as is done when calling sky2_phy_power_up(),
