No, but if only some registers are lost then why reconfigure others? In
particular it seems that only MII_KSZPHY_CTRL_2 is lost but not
MII_KSZPHY_OMSO.

However a few extra phy reads don't really matter. Calling config_init
is the path of least resistance.

Another problem is that the ksz9031 driver uses kszphy_resume but has a
completely different init function. The bits I am concerned about do
not seem to exist in hardware but it does something completely
unrelated with parsing OF properties. Should I split this into
ksz8021_resume and ksz9031_resume?

It seems likely that more of the kszphy drivers need suspend/resume
code but nobody got around to testing them.

I'm not suggesting changing this at the phy core level. Just that maybe
kszphy_resume specifically could save/restore register 0x1F instead of
going through config logic again (which would involve extra reads and
writes).

However it seems that this has complications, for example on some
versions the leds are written to a different register. It's not really
worth optimizing to such an extent.
