Thanks for your review. I investigated this further and it seems to me
that the issue is in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c, so I am adding some
netdev folks.

The driver drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c and the yaml description says
that it only supports one bus level PHY GPIO reset via reset-gpios
property.

On the imx6ul-evk, there are two KSZ8081 PHYs in the same mdio bus, so
this is how I described it in dts:

https://pastebin.com/raw/xLjYUHdN

but the 'reset-gpios' properties are not found in this case. I think
we need to let drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c to search for 'reset-gpios'
also inside the mdio children.

My understanding is that adding phy-reset-gpios under each fec node is
deprecated.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
