[PATCH net v3] 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.

v2->v3:
- add Reviewed-by Andrew Lunn
- mark that the patch is for net and not net-next

v1->v2:
- add comment describing that there should not be anyone putting back
  the phy in coma mode.
