[U-Boot] Ethernet PHY LAN8700

I understand that if it is data sync problem then it should wait/hang at that
place,
But it is getting reset. When i probed reset status it says Check stop reset
has happened.

We are using custom board based on MPC8313 processor, phy used in our board
is LAN8700 and U-boot version used is 1.3.0.

-Thanks
