Some boards [1] leave the PHYs at an invalid state during system power-up or reset thus causing unreliability issues with the PHY which manifests as PHY not being detected or link not functional. To fix this, these PHYs need to be RESET via a GPIO connected to the PHY's RESET pin. Some boards have a single GPIO controlling the PHY RESET pin of all PHYs on the bus whereas some others have separate GPIOs controlling individual PHY RESETs. In both cases, the RESET de-assertion cannot be done in the PHY driver as the PHY will not probe till its reset is de-asserted. So do the RESET de-assertion in the MDIO bus driver.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
