Sorry, I don't think I understood everything correctly:

1. The "phy-reset-gpios" binding should go inside the phy node. This
will cause to *change ALL FEC and PHY drivers*. Correct?

2. Add an additonal "hard reset" function to the PHY driver which
handles the "phy-reset-gpios". Correct?

3. Who should then trigger the "hard reset" of the PHY? phy_init_hw? The
FEC?

The point is that the LAN8710 is currently not always working correctly,
therefore this small change was proposed. Should we really change all
PHY/FECs only because of this?
Furthermore one problem still remains: The enet_refclk is controlled by
the FEC. How does the PHY recognize when it was disabled/enabled?
