The PHY subsystem as well as the MIIM mdio driver (in case of the
integrated PHYs) will already take care of the resets of any external
and internal PHY. There is no need for this reset anymore, so mark it
optionally to be backwards compatible.

Horatiu, what do you think, should it be removed altogether? There is
no user for that in mainline and I don't know about downstream but the
reset driver doesn't really work (as it also resets the GPIO/SGPIO)
and conceptionally the property is on the wrong DT node. All of the
drawbacks should have been addressed by my patches for the miim [1]
and the pinctrl driver [2].

I think it is OK to remove it altogether. If you get both [1] and [2]
in.

Yes because I didn't manage to send yet those patches. But if your get
yours in that is fine for me.
My problem was, if after the probe of the MDIO controller it was probed
the SGPIO then the PHYs will be in reset because the SGPIO was resetting
the swich. But you put the reset of the swich on the pinctrl which will
be probed before the MDIO, so that should be fine.
