I agree, it's the the best solution I found for this specific design.

This specific hw block perform various operations before, in the middle and
after PHY initialization. That made me make reset controlller initialize PHYs.

I'm happy to implement a more proper design if someone can just suggest how.
I don't have any better idea :(
