I know your suggestion is a fair request.

Oh, that copy from the 'freescale/fec_main.c' ....

So, The exist way was old and unwise in mainline. :(

wxt at nb:~/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet$ ag reset-gpios
micrel/ks8851.c
1427:    gpio = of_get_named_gpio_flags(spi->dev.of_node, "reset-gpios",

arc/emac_main.c
787:    phy_reset = of_get_named_gpio(np, "phy-reset-gpios", 0);
797:        dev_err(dev, "failed to get phy-reset-gpios: %d\n", err);

arc/emac_main.c~
784:    phy_reset = of_get_named_gpio(np, "phy-reset-gpios", 0);
794:        dev_err(dev, "failed to get phy-reset-gpios: %d\n", err);

davicom/dm9000.c
1451:    reset_gpios = of_get_named_gpio_flags(dev->of_node, 
"reset-gpios", 0,

freescale/fec_main.c
3206:    phy_reset = of_get_named_gpio(np, "phy-reset-gpios", 0);
3216:        dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get phy-reset-gpios: %d\n", 
err);

cadence/macb.c
2958:        int gpio = of_get_named_gpio(phy_node, "reset-gpios", 0);

...


Anyway, I will update it with your suggestion.

Thanks,


Caesar
