I'm not sure. Suspending the chip means you lose things like link beat
detection, so it's not something you necessarily want to automatically
tie to something like interface status. Some chips support more
fine-grained power management, so we could do something more sensible in
that case - but right now, there doesn't seem to be a lot of driver
support for it.
