The AST2600 MDIO bus controller has a reset control bit and must be deasserted before manipulating the MDIO controller. By default, the hardware asserts the reset so the driver only need to deassert it. Regarding to the old DT blobs which don't have reset property in them, the reset deassertion is usually done by the bootloader so the reset property is optional to work with them.
