[PATCH net] net: phy: micrel: Make the GPIO to be non-exclusive

[Horatiu Vultur]

The same GPIO line can be shared by multiple phys for the coma mode pin.
If that is the case then, all the other phys that share the same line
will failed to be probed because the access to the gpio line is not
non-exclusive.
Fix this by making access to the gpio line to be nonexclusive using flag
GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE. This allows all the other PHYs to be
probed.

I would suggest putting a comment here. You are assuming the driver
never gains a lan8814_take_coma_mode() when the PHY is put into
suspend, since it sounds like that will put all PHYs on the shared
GPIO into coma mode.

That is correct.
I will add a comment in the next version.
