Subject: [PATCH iwl-net 07/12] ice: E825: perform a soft reset when starting the PHY timer

To ensure that the E825 PHY timer begins in a clean state, initiate a PHY soft reset prior to programming the PHY. This ensures that we clear any outstanding Tx timestamp memory, and ensures that the PHY internal state has been completely reset.
