smsc95xx_reset() resets the PHY behind the PHY driver's back, which
seems like a bad idea generally. Remove that portion of the function.
We're about to use PHY interrupts instead of polling to detect link
changes on SMSC LAN95xx chips. Because smsc95xx_reset() is called from
usbnet_open(), PHY interrupt settings are lost whenever the net_device
is brought up.
There are two other callers of smsc95xx_reset(), namely smsc95xx_bind()
and smsc95xx_reset_resume(), and both may indeed benefit from a PHY
reset. However they already perform one through their calls to
phy_connect_direct() and phy_init_hw().
