While this code does exist, it's too early to be called when the mdio bus is
trying to probe the phy. I was also surprised the existing reset gpio support
in the phylib core didn't take effect (that's how I tried to implement it first)
only to find that the code was never called. It's only called once the phy was
probed and registered.

Cheers,

Paul
