I want to get permanent MAC address when the card is down. And I think
it is more convenient to get statistics in the down state by 'ethtool -S'.
But current all of the ethool command return -EBUSY.

I don't think we should detect that the network card is up in '. Begin',
which will cause that all the ethtool commands can't be used when the
network card is down. If some ethtool commands can only be used in the
up state, check it in the corresponding ethool OPS function is better.
This is too rude and unreasonable.

I have checked the '.begin' implementation of other drivers, most of which
support the submission of NIC driver for the first time.
They are too old to know why '.begin' is implemented. I suspect that they
have not noticed the usage of '.begin'.

Fixes: 47dd7a540b8a ("net: add support for STMicroelectronics Ethernet
		     controllers.")

Compile-tested on arm64. Tested on an arm64 system with an on-board
STMMAC chip.

Changes v6 ... v7:
- fix arg type error of 'dev' to 'priv->device'.

Changes v5 ... v6:
- The 4.19.90 kernel not support pm_runtime, so implemente '.begin' and
  '.complete' again. Add return value check of pm_runtime function.

Changes v4 ... v5:
- test the '.begin' will return -13 error on my machine based on 4.19.90
  kernel. The platform driver does not supported pm_runtime. So remove the
  implementation of '.begin' and '.complete'.

Changes v3 ... v4:
- implement '.complete' ethtool OPS.

Changes v2 ... v3:
- add linux/pm_runtime.h head file.

Changes v1 ... v2:
- fix spell error of dev.

"card is down" isn't precise. The interface is down, and the NIC may be
runtime-suspended.

You don't mean detect but check here.

What do you mean with "submission for the first time"?

IMO it's not a bug that ethtool calls aren't supported if interface is
down. Therefore personally I'd see this for net-next. Final call is with
the maintainers.

Why moving the phylink include?

Power-managed is the parent of the net_device.
So you could simply use dev->dev.parent.

You sent this patch to the mailing list only and missed to address the
maintainers.

I think the question whether an ethtool call should wake a network device
from runtime suspend is a general one (at least for all network drivers
with runtime pm support) and not restricted to stmmac. 
Strictly needed is waking the device only if e.g. a chip register is
accessed that isn't available during runtime-suspend. However personally
I'd be fine with the small overhead of always waking the device.

If there's an agreement that this makes sense in general then we may add
this to core code, by e.g. runtime-resuming netdev->dev.parent (and maybe
netdev->dev if netdev has no parent).

Sounds very tempting to me.

I'll submit a proposal.
