The CPSW might be suspended by RPM if all ethX interfaces are down,
but it still could be accesible through ethtool interfce. In this case
ethtool operations, requiring registers access, will cause L3 errors and
CPSW crash.

Hence, fix it by adding RPM get/put calls in ethtool callbcaks which
can access CPSW registers: .set_coalesce(), .get_ethtool_stats(),
.set_pauseparam(), .get_regs()

Provided that you implement an ethtool_ops::begin, it will be called
before each ethtool operation runs, so that could allow you to eliminate
some of the duplication here. Conversely ethtool_ops::end terminates
each operation and can be used for that purpose.

Ah. Thanks for the advice. (assume you've meant .complete())
