Bug#812746: linux-image-4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64: r8169 misbehaves if shut down
looks like this is in fact somehow related to laptop-mode-tools / r8169
misbehaves if shut down.
In the end it is enough to shut down the interface via:
ip link set dev eth0 down
to produce the errors messages:
[90830.764253] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10).

...
but in this case the errors stop if one brings up the interface again
via:
ip link set dev eth0 up

don't know what exactly happens in the suspend case but maybe the
interface is shut down and never brought back up again because no cable
is connected
