The eth-uclass state machine doesn't prevent imbalanced start()/stop() calls - to the contrary, it even provides eth_init_state_only() and eth_halt_state_only() functions that change the state without any calls into the driver. This means that the driver must be robust against duplicate start() and stop() calls as well as send/recv calls while the interface is down.
We decide not to print error messages but just to return an error in the latter case, as trying to send packets on a disabled interface commonly happens when the netconsole is still active after the Ethernet has been halted during bootm.
