[PATCH v2] net/macb: add support for resetting PHY using GPIO

From: Gregory CLEMENT
Date: Fri Dec 11 2015 - 05:35:06 EST


With device tree it is no more possible to reset the PHY at board
level. Furthermore, doing in the driver allow to power down the PHY when
the network interface is no more used.

This reset can't be done at the PHY driver level. The PHY must be able to
answer the to the mii bus scan to let the kernel creating a PHY device.

The patch introduces a new optional property "phy-reset-gpios" inspired
from the one use for the FEC.

Since the v1, I used the gpiod functions. It allows to simplify the
code and to not introduce any #ifdef.

I also rename the property in phy-reset-gpios, even if actually the
gpiod will match both phy-reset-gpios and phy-reset-gpio.
