The impact of this regression is the same for resume that I saw on
thaw: the kernel hangs and nothing except SysRq rebooting can be done.

The null deref occurs at the same position as on thaw.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference
RIP: aq_ring_rx_fill+0xcf/0x210 [atlantic]

Fixes regression in cbe6c3a8f8f4 ("net: atlantic: invert deep par in
pm functions, preventing null derefs"), where I disabled deep pm
resets in suspend and resume, trying to make sense of the
atl_resume_common deep parameter in the first place.

It turns out, that atlantic always has to deep reset on pm operations
and the parameter is useless. Even though I expected that and tested
resume, I screwed up by kexec-rebooting into an unpatched kernel, thus
missing the breakage.

This fixup obsoletes the deep parameter of atl_resume_common, but I
leave the cleanup for the maintainers to post to mainline.

PS: I'm very sorry for this regression.

As mentioned in the discusson thread this reliably restores resume
for me, so:
