phylib: Add device reset GPIO support
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...
