net: phy: micrel: add toggling phy reset
This patch set is for R-Car Gen3 Salvator-XS boards. If we do
the following method, the phy cannot link up correctly.
1) Kernel boots by using initramfs.
--> No open the nic, so phy_device_register() and phy_probe()
deasserts the reset.
2) Kernel enters the suspend.
--> So, keep the reset signal as deassert.
--> On R-Car Salvator-XS board, unfortunately, the board power is
turned off.
3) Kernel returns from suspend.
4) ifconfig eth0 up
--> Then, since edge signal of the reset doesn't happen,
it cannot link up.
5) ifconfig eth0 down
6) ifconfig eth0 up
--> In this case, it can link up.
When resolving this issue after I got feedback from Andrew and Heiner,
I found an issue that the phy_device.c didn't call phy_resume()
if the PHY was not attached. So, patch 1 fixes it and add toggling
the phy reset to the micrel phy driver.
Changes from v1 (as RFC):
- No remove the current code of phy_device.c to avoid any side effects.
- Fix the mdio_bus_phy_resume() in phy_device.c.
- Add toggling the phy reset in micrel.c if the PHY is not attached.

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
