[ Upstream commit 764d31cacfe48440745c4bbb55a62ac9471c9f19 ]
Following a similar reinstate for the KSZ9031.
Older kernels would use the genphy_soft_reset if the PHY did not implement
a .soft_reset.
Bluntly removing that default may expose a lot of situations where various
PHYs/board implementations won't recover on various changes.
Like with this implementation during a 4.9.x to 5.4.x LTS transition.
I think it's a good thing to remove unwanted soft resets but wonder if it
did open a can of worms?
Atleast this fixes one iMX6 FEC/RMII/8081 combo.
Fixes: 6e2d85ec0559 ("net: phy: Stop with excessive soft reset")

Linux kernel
============
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.
