Hi Bjorn,

In this situation we are going into suspend.  In doing so, any
problems with the brcm phy may be erased/forgiven upon resume, since
clocks are turned off and most power removed/reduced.  An error from
brcm_phy_stop() that becomes the return value of  brcm_pcie_suspend()
will bring a halt to the entire suspend IIRC.   In fact, I forced a
-EIO in this code and it panic'd on suspend.  This is not really the
behavior I want for what is most likely a recoverable error.

Perhaps a dev_err(...) will suffice while still returning 0?

I noticed that reset_control_rearm() also returns a value, and if that
is in error it will not be erease/forgiven  by suspend sleep.  I will
fix this.
