why don't you do that always ? Meaning, why don't you *always* take PHY
out of suspend ? If PHY is suspended, you can't wakeup unless you have
(in OMAP case) pad wakeup working, right ?

Moreover, if you can suspend the PHY and still wakup, that's something
we need to teach the PHY layer about. Currently it doesn't know anything
about such wakeup capable PHYs ;-)
