On some systems (such as the Qualcomm APQ8060 Dragonboard) the RESET signal of the SMSC911x is not pulled up by a resistor but connected to a GPIO line, so that the operating system must explicitly deassert RESET before use. Support this in the SMSC911x driver so this ethernet connector can be used on such targets.
Hmm, at least in our hardware case AFAIK (juno/lan9118) the hardware reset line on the lan9118 is active low, but the chip itself is documented as having internal pullups so that it may be left unconnected. Which microchip/smsc chip are we talking about? because it seems that you probably want the GPIO pin to be in any state (hi-Z, or just high) besides the one you selected here. Beyond that, is it not possible for the firmware to get the reset pin in the correct configuration, so that linux doesn't have to mess with it?
