Some PHYs (for example the LAN8710) doesn't allow turning the clocks off
and on again without reset (according to their datasheet). Exactly this
behaviour was introduced for power saving reasons by commit e8fcfcd5684a
("net: fec: optimize the clock management to save power")
Therefore add a devictree option to perform a PHY reset and
configuration after every clock enable.
For a better understanding here's a outline of the time response of the
clock and reset lines before and after this patch:
v--fec_probe() v--fec_enet_open()
v v
w/o patch eCLK: ___||||||||____________________|||||||||||||||||

w/ patch eCLK: ___||||||||____________________|||||||||||||||||
w/ patch nRST: ----__--------------------------__--------------
w/ patch CONF: _______XX__________________________XX___________

^--fec_probe() ^--fec_enet_open()
In our case this problem does occur at about every 10th to 50th POR of
an LAN8710 connected to an i.MX6 SoC. The typical symptom of this
problem is a "swinging" ethernet link. Similar issues were experienced
by users of the NXP forum:
https://community.nxp.com/thread/389902
https://community.nxp.com/message/309354
With this patch applied the issue didn't occur for at least a few
hundred PORs of our board.
