Hi Anand,

I think this description does not match what's going on inside the SoC:
- for all SoCs earlier than GXL the PHY is external so the reset for
the PHY is a GPIO
- the reset line you are passing in the .dts belongs to the Ethernet
controller on SoCs earlier than GXL
- I *believe* that the rset line which you're passing in the .dts
belongs to the Ethernet controller AND the built-in MDIO mux on GXL
and newer, see also [0]
- from how the PRG_ETH registers work I doubt that these are connected
to a reset line (as they're managing mostly delays and protocol - so I
don't see what would be reset). This is speculation though.


Best regards,
Martin
