We've tried this technique before - you still need to re-enumerate after
the resume, right? So you might as well just power down the PHY and
you should be able to recover.

Ajay Gupta did a lot of work on this - not sure if this worked well. We
basically gave up on this interoperability issue and decided to work
around it in newer silicon. 3630 ES1.1 and later has suspend-resume
working with the SMSC PHY.
