[PATCH] net: phy: Add sysfs attribute to prevent PHY suspend

[Sebastian Hesselbarth]

commit 1211ce53077164e0d34641d0ca5fb4d4a7574498
  ("net: phy: resume/suspend PHYs on attach/detach")
introduced a feature to suspend PHYs when entering halted state.

Unfortunately, not all bootloaders properly power-up PHYs on reset
and fail to access ethernet because the PHY is still powered down.

Therefore, this adds code and documentation for a sysfs attribute to
allow/deny PHYs to be suspended on a per-PHY basis. Disabling that
attribute prevents PHYs from being suspended when entering halted state.

David,

I know I am late, but I still consider this as a fix for v3.14, therefore
this is based on v3.14-rc1. If you are already done with taking fixes for
v3.14, I can, of course, rebase this upon net-next.
