Thanks for the detailed presentation. I've simplified it to this, from what
I understood.

--- Currently -------------------------------------------------------------

With a cable from an active peer connected to Port 3 (lan4) before
reset:

Test 1, the correct crystal frequency (0b10 = 40MHz) is selected.

--- 1 second delay between assert and deassert ----------------------------

With a cable from an active peer connected to Port 3 (lan4) before
reset, the correct crystal frequency (0b10 = 40MHz) is selected:

[2-2] Remaining period of 1000.325 msec.
[3] reset_control_deassert.
[4] Period of 310 usec. HWTRAP register is populated with bootstrapped
XTAL frequency.
[5] Signals reflect the bootstrapped configuration.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to increase the delay between
reset_control_assert() and reset_control_deassert(), and
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 0) and
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 1) instead of disabling the LED
controller and delaying before reset?

One MT7531 pin used for an LED is also used to decide the crystal frequency
between 40MHz and 25Mhz. We should implement this there as well.
