Hi Philippe

What i don't particularly like about this is that the MAC driver is
doing it. Meaning if this PHY is used with any other MAC, the same
code needs adding there.

Is there a way we can put this into phylib? Maybe as part of
phy_init_hw()? Humm, actually, thinking aloud:

int phy_init_hw(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
int ret = 0;

/* Deassert the reset signal */
phy_device_reset(phydev, 0);

So maybe in the phy driver, add a suspend handler, which asserts the
reset. This call here will take it out of reset, so applying the reset
you need?

Andrew
