Given they will have the same set of functions for exit/init and
suspend/resume, you mean duplicating the callbacks like this :
--- a/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-sti.c
+++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-sti.c
@@ -359,6 +359,8 @@ static int sti_dwmac_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
plat_dat->bsp_priv = dwmac;
plat_dat->init = sti_dwmac_init;
plat_dat->exit = sti_dwmac_exit;
+ plat_dat->suspend = sti_dwmac_exit;
+ plat_dat->resume = sti_dwmac_init;
plat_dat->fix_mac_speed = data->fix_retime_src;

ret = sti_dwmac_init(pdev, plat_dat->bsp_priv);

Is this anyhow useful ?
