This is fine because the driver sets plat_dat->suspend, and so
rk_gmac_exit() is never called via stmmac_pltfr_exit() during suspend.

It does look a bit sketchy to release resources in the rk_gmac_exit()
counterpart to rk_gmac_init(), which never requested the resources,
though. Maybe use devm_add_action_or_reset() to register the release of
the reset during remove?
