Extend the DT binding to define a "compatible value" for the

contained in NVIDIA's Tegra186 SoC, and define some new properties and
list property entries required by that configuration.

IMHO the phy reset gpio belongs in the binding for the PHY. I notice
some other ethernet drivers have this, but the PHY should be managed
entirely through the phylib and any special handling for reset can be
hidden in phy specific drivers.
I can see that argument; this GPIO certainly does control the PHY so
seems part of it. However, presumably this GPIO must be manipulated
before being able to communicate with the PHY at all, and hence
instantiate any driver that might control the PHY. As such, this seems
more like a property of the MDIO bus than the PHY itself, even if it
electrically is part of the PHY. Also,
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/phy.txt doesn't contain any
phy-reset-gpios property or similar, so we'd have to add that if we
wanted to rely upon it.
For now I'll post V2 without changing this, but I can always post V3 if
needed.
