You are still putting it into reset, and then taking it out of
reset. This is what i said should not be done. Please only take it out
of reset if it is in reset.

Also, you ignored my comments about delay after reset.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-phy.yaml says:

  reset-gpios:
    maxItems: 1
    description:
      The GPIO phandle and specifier for the PHY reset signal.

  reset-assert-us:
    description:
      Delay after the reset was asserted in microseconds. If this
      property is missing the delay will be skipped.

  reset-deassert-us:
    description:
      Delay after the reset was deasserted in microseconds. If
      this property is missing the delay will be skipped.

You are deasserting the reset, so you should look for this property,
and if it is there, delay for that amount. Some PHYs take a while
before they will respond on the bus.
