The PHY  devices sometimes do have their reset signal (maybe even power
supply?) tied to some GPIO and sometimes it also does happen that a boot
loader does not leave it deasserted. So far this issue has been attacked
from (as I believe) a wrong angle: by teaching the MAC driver to
manipulate
the GPIO in question;  that solution, when  applied to the device trees,
led to adding the PHY reset GPIO properties to the MAC device node, with
one exception: Cadence MACB driver which could handle the "reset-gpios"
prop  in a PHY device  subnode.  I believe that the correct approach is
to
teach the 'phylib' to get the MDIO device reset GPIO from the device tree
node corresponding to this device -- which this patch is doing...

Note that I had to modify the  AT803x PHY driver as it would stop working
otherwise as it made use of the reset GPIO for its own purposes...

Lots of double spaces in here. Please fix.

   Oh, it's you again! :-D
Yep, one of those picky kernel maintainers that like a bad rash just
won't go away. :)

Calling fwnode_* functions in a DT specific file/function? That doesn't
make sense.

   Really?! 8-)
   Where is a DT-only analog I wonder...
Ah, you're right. NM.
