Please note that the mdio-level delay properties are not the same as
the ones on the PHY levels.

reset-delay-us - this is the delay BEFORE *DEASSERTING* the reset line
reset-post-delay-us - this is the delay AFTER *DEASSERTING* the reset line

On PHY level we have:

reset-assert-us - AFTER *ASSERTING*
reset-deassert-us - AFTER *DEASSERTING*

There never has been any reset-assert delay on that line before. It
doesn't look like we need a delay BEFORE deasserting the line, do we?
