I'll fix this one too.

The ath79 PHY controller misuse the reset controller to control a
suspend override. When this reset line is deasserted the PHY is forced
in suspend mode, for normal operations it must be asserted. In short
this extra reset is inverted compared to the normal use of a reset line.

To support that that in the simple driver we would first need to find a
way to support multiple resets. Not impossible, but not trivial either
as we would need to at least get a name list from somewhere. Then we
would need another scheme to indicate that this extra reset need to be
inverted, again possible but it would start be a bit hacky. All in all
that didn't sound like a good idea for something that is supposed to be
a "simple" driver, so a dedicated driver sounded like the best approach
for this case.
