    Following trace pops up if we try to suspend with 3c59x ethernet NIC

    This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
    netif_running().
    
    Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
    The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
    possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e68
    
    
    "3c59x PM fixes"). But,
    
    - On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
      but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).
    
    - Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
      HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
      requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
      unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
      not free_irq().
