Subject: [PATCH] igc: fix netdev not re-attached after resume if interface is
 down

__igc_resume() calls netif_device_attach() only inside the
netif_running() branch, so an interface that was down during suspend
is never re-attached on resume. It then stays in the not-present state
that __igc_shutdown() set via netif_device_detach(): ethtool reports
ENODEV and every attempt to bring the interface up fails the
netif_device_present() check in __dev_open() with -ENODEV, silently,
since __igc_resume() returns 0. Only reloading the driver recovers the
device.

This is easy to hit in practice because NetworkManager brings managed
interfaces down before sleep unless Wake-on-LAN is configured, making
the adapter unusable after every suspend/resume cycle with WoL
disabled.

Re-attach the netdev on every successful resume, as igb and e1000e do.
