looking at mtk_pending_work() I guess running mtk_wed_fe_reset() releasing RTNL
lock is not harmful since we just perform few actions (ppe reset, ...)  before
running mtk_wed_fe_reset(). Moreover, the core reset part in mtk_pending_work()
(mtk_stop(), mtk_open(), ..) is done after mtk_wed_fe_reset() where we reacquired
RTNL lock.
In order to avoid any possible race, I guess we can just re-do the preliminary
reset configuration done before mtk_wed_fe_reset() just after re-acquiring RTNL
lock.

Lorenzo
