MCS7830 USB-Ether: resume _with_ working link, via .reset_resume support
ChangeLog: Implement .reset_resume support to retain a live network connection during suspend despite USB power loss. - rework operation to reference cached data in mcs7830_data and netdev->dev_addr - update netdev->dev_addr only in case new MAC was set successfully . Tests done: . ethtool -d pre-/post-suspend: register values match . running ssh session suspend, resume: works . ifdown device, suspend, resume: works . ifup, suspend, unplug, resume: WORKS (eth1 is removed, re-ifup of eth1 after card replug works) . verified identical MAC in ifconfig post-resume (ok, should be verified on network side to be fully certain...)
