Can you explain that some more. When are you suggesting doing a
runtime enable/disable? Given the current DSA architecture, i would
probably do a runtime enable as soon as i lookup the mdio bus, and
never do a runtime disable. Also, how would you include this runtime
pm into the phy state machine which is going to be polling your mdio
bus around once per second for normal phys?

Florian, as Maintainer of the phy state machine, what do you think
about adding runtime PM to it?

  Thanks
