This is wrong. Look above, this, and you will notice that
pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state() is called _conditionally_, depending
on whether the MAC is doing WoL or not. If WoL is enabled, the MAC
needs to stay functional, which means its pins need to stay properly
configured.

So, we can't unconditionally call this. I suggest moving this to:

-	if (!ndev || !netif_running(ndev)) {
+	if (!ndev || !netif_running(ndev)) {
+		/* Select sleep pin state */
+		pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state(dev);
                goto suspend_bsp;
+	}

This looks fine to me.
