The main idea behind the runtime PM hooks is that they bring the
device to a working state and shuts it down when it's not needed
anymore.

Indeed.

I expect that the first part (all pm_runtime_xxx) of the patch bring that.
When the interface is not opened:
cat /sys/devices/platform/soc/1c30000.ethernet/power/runtime_status 
suspended

However, they shouldn't be called when the device is still in used, so
all the mangling with NAPI, the phy and so on is irrelevant here, but
the clocks, resets, for example, are.

I do the same as other ethernet driver for suspend/resume.

suspend / resume are used when you put the whole system into suspend,
and bring it back.

runtime_pm is only when the device is not used anymore. It makes sense
when you suspend to do whatever you're doing here. It doesn't make any
when the system is not suspended, but the device is.

These are not the runtime PM hooks. How did you test that?

Anyway I didnt test suspend/resume so I will remove it until I
successfully found how to hibernate my board.

So you submit code you never tested? That's usually a recipe for
disaster.
