The PHY devices sometimes do have their reset signal (maybe even power
supply?) tied to some GPIO and sometimes it also does happen that a boot
loader does not leave it deasserted. So far this issue has been attacked
from (as I believe) a wrong angle: by teaching the MAC driver to
manipulate
the GPIO in question; that solution, when applied to the device trees, led
to adding the PHY reset GPIO properties to the MAC device node, with one
exception: Cadence MACB driver which could handle the "reset-gpios" prop
in a PHY device subnode. I believe that the correct approach is to teach
the 'phylib' to get the MDIO device reset GPIO from the device tree node
corresponding to this device -- which this patch is doing...

Note that I had to modify the AT803x PHY driver as it would stop working
otherwise -- it made use of the reset GPIO for its own purposes...

    Umm, but why deassert it here for such a short time?

That's a consequence of moving it from drivers/of/of_mdio.c to here.

   Well, you shouldn't do code moves without some thinking. ;-)

Not that it was deasserted that much longer in drivers/of/of_mdio.c, though...

There it had a reason, here I'm not seeing one. Perhaps using GPIOD_ASIS (or GPIOD_OUT_HIGH) instead of GPIOD_OUT_LOW and dropping mdio_device_reset(mdiodev, 1) afterwards would make more sense here?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
