Same here

And here

My problem is if I put this in the external PHY's node, once the switch
gets reset it would reset also the GPIO pin and then it can't connect
to the external PHYs anymore.

The switch will need anyway to call this driver to release the reset of
the internal PHYs, so I was thinking to put also the release of the
external PHYs in the same driver.

Initially we wanted to extend the 'sparx5-switch-reset' driver to do
this but the output of that discussion was to have 2 different drivers,
one for the switch and one for the PHYs.
