Hi Andrew,

I agree, that's much better. I had something like that in mind before
I got distracted...

/me looking for brown paper bag now.

Cheers,

Why not simply:

static int asix_soft_reset(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
        int ret;

        /* Asix PHY won't reset unless reset bit toggles */
        ret = phy_write(phydev, MII_BMCR, 0);
        if (ret < 0)
                return ret;

        return genphy_soft_reset(phydev);
}
