As far as I can tell, all SolidRun boards do not specify the enet_out
clock in the dtb, so the PHY reset behaviour should be unaffected by
this patch on those boards, since the additional fec_reset_phy() call is
framed by:
if (fep->clk_enet_out) {
	...
}

But verifying this explicitly is of course a good idea.
