indeed the driver does not hold rtnl_lock during its internal close
and re-open functions during suspend/resume. Note that this is not
a huge bug as the driver implements its own locking, and does not
implement changing the number of queues, but we need to silence
the splat.

alx_reinit has a lockdep assertion that the alx->mtx mutex must be held.
alx_reinit is called from two places: alx_reset and alx_change_mtu.
alx_reset does acquire alx->mtx before calling alx_reinit.
alx_change_mtu does not acquire this mutex, nor do its callers or any
path towards alx_change_mtu.
Acquire the mutex in alx_change_mtu.
The issue was introduced when the fine-grained locking was introduced

ag71xx may have a PCS, but it does not appear to support configuration
of the PCS in the current code. The functions to get its state merely
report that the link is down, and the AN restart function is empty.
Since neither of these functions will be called unless phylink's legacy
flag is set, we can safely remove these functions and indicate this is
a modern driver.
Should PCS support be added later, it will need to be modelled using
the phylink_pcs support rather than operating as a legacy driver.

In the alx driver, all locking depended on the RTNL, but
that causes issues with ipconfig ("ip=..." command line)
because that waits for the netdev to have a carrier while
holding the RTNL, but the alx workers etc. require RTNL,
so the carrier won't be set until the RTNL is dropped and
can be acquired by alx workers. This causes long delays
at boot, as reported by Nikolai Zhubr.
Really the only sensible thing to do here is to not use
the RTNL for everything, but instead have fine-grained
locking for just the driver. Do that, it's not that hard.
