[PATCH v3 0/4] Various nb8800 tweaks

Hello,

The main feature in this series is suspend/resume support (patch 4).
It is implemented by closing the device on suspend, and reopening it
on resume. To achieve this, HW inits are moved to ndo_open (patch 3).

After some back and forth with the HW dev, it turns out that the "raw" IP
does not support disabling DMA in software, so I want to get rid of the
nb8800_dma_stop() hack. Since there is no standard way to disable DMA,
I dropped generic support (patch 1).

The HW dev has also stated that it is safe to tweak the flow control bit
in the NB8800_RXC_CR register at any time (patch 2) i.e. no need for
special handling when RX DMA is enabled, despite the documentation stating:

The Receive Channel Control Register holds channel enable, mode, endian,
DMA control, and interrupt control information.  This register can only be
written when the Receive DMA Channel is idle - the Enable bit in it is "0".
