[PATCH net-next 00/14] net: remove empty MDIO bus reset functions

[Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>]

Hi David,

This patchset removes all empty MDIO bus reset functions that we have in the
tree (hopefully all of them). This function is optional for the MDIO bus code in
drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c::mdiobus_register, the documentation is updated to
reflect that.

Having less call sites to update will allow us to implement a generic BMCR_RESET
based PHY reset for MDIO buses that require to reset their PHYs before their
PHY detection succeeds (e.g: HiSilicon hip04 current submission) and provide it
as a helper.

Thanks!
