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...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
