The (optional) software reset is done via soft_reset callback.
So if the PHY in question needs special treatment after a soft reset,
why not add it to the soft_reset callback?

This sounds to me like a lower level driver (e.g. for GPIO / interrupt
controller) not resuming properly from hibernation. Supposedly things
like edge/level high/low/both are stored per interrupt line in a register
of the interrupt controller, and the controller would have to restore
the register value on resume from hibernation. You may want to have
a look at that driver.
