It was noticed that unbinding and rebinding the KSZ8851 ethernet resulted in the driver reporting "failed to read device ID" at probe. Probing the reset line with a 'scope while repeatedly attempting to bind the driver in a shell loop revealed that the KSZ8851 RSTN pin is constantly held at zero, meaning the device is held in reset, and does not respond on the SPI bus. Experimentation with the startup delay on the regulator set to 50ms shows that the reset is positively released after 20ms. Schematics for this board are not available, and the traces are buried in the inner layers of the board which makes tracing where the RSTN pin extremely difficult. We can only guess that the RSTN pin is wired to a reset generator chip driven off the ethernet supply, which fits the observed behaviour. Include this delay in the regulator startup delay - effectively treating the reset as a "supply stable" indicator. This can not be modelled as a delay in the KSZ8851 driver since the reset generation is board specific - if the RSTN pin had been wired to a GPIO, reset could be released earlier via the already provided support in the KSZ8851 driver.

Sure. We can add this. Thanks for patch. Regards, Santosh
