It would cause dead lock for runtime suspend, when the workqueue
is running and runtime suspend occurs before the workqueue wakes
up the device. The rtl8152_suspend() waits the workqueue to finish
because of calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(). The workqueue waits
the suspend function to finish for waking up the device because of
calling usb_autopm_get_interface().

This looks strange to me. The delayed work will cause an immediate
resume due to the usb_autopm_get_interface() it starts with.  Wouldn't
it be better to just prevent runtime suspending by returning -EBUSY if
there is any delayed work scheduled?

The diagnosis is good, the fix is not good. It opens a race
during which the queued work can touch a suspended device.

The delayed work would wake up the device by
calling usb_autopm_get_interface() before
accessing the device. Besides, there is a mutex
to avoid the race.
