Another thing I have found is that for our platform, if the driver for
the ethernet PHY (in this case broadcom PHY) is enabled, then it fails
to resume but if I disable the PHY in the kernel configuration, then
resume works. I have found that if I move the reinit of the RX buffers
to before the startup of the phy, then it can resume OK with the PHY
enabled.

Does the following work for you? Does your platform use a specific
ethernet PHY driver?

It is still not clear to us why the existing call to
stmmac_clear_descriptors() is not sufficient to fix your problem.

How often does the issue you see occur?

Thanks
Jon
