Sometimes ucc_geth fails to suspend with the following trace:

 ucc_geth e0103000.ucc: suspend
 ucc_geth e0102000.ucc: suspend
 NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (ucc_geth): transmit queue 0 timed out
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 Badness at net/sched/sch_generic.c:255

This patch fixes the issue by properly detaching the device on
suspend, and attaching it back on resume.
