3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0878fff1f42c18e448ab5b8b4f6a3eb32365b5b6 upstream.
The Generic PHY driver is a catch-all PHY driver and it should preserve
whatever prior initialization has been done by boot loader or firmware
agents. For specific PHY device configuration it is expected that a
specialized PHY driver would take over that role.
Resetting the generic PHY was a bad idea that has lead to several
complaints and downstream workarounds e.g: in OpenWrt/LEDE so restore
the behavior prior to 87aa9f9c61ad ("net: phy: consolidate PHY
reset in phy_init_hw()").
