net: ethernet: use generic power management
Linux Kernel Mentee: Remove Legacy Power Management.
The purpose of this patch series is to upgrade power management in net ethernet
drivers. This has been done by upgrading .suspend() and .resume() callbacks.
The upgrade makes sure that the involvement of PCI Core does not change the
order of operations executed in a driver. Thus, does not change its behavior.
In general, drivers with legacy PM, .suspend() and .resume() make use of PCI
helper functions like pci_enable/disable_device_mem(), pci_set_power_state(),
pci_save/restore_state(), pci_enable/disable_device(), etc. to complete
their job.
The conversion requires the removal of those function calls, change the
callbacks' definition accordingly and make use of dev_pm_ops structure.
All patches are compile-tested only.
Test tools:
- Compiler: gcc (GCC) 10.1.0
- allmodconfig build: make -j$(nproc) W=1 all

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
