Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be as straightforward
as I originally thought.  Still doable, but more complicated.

In particular, the macb bindings allow for a user to specify a
'reset-gpios' property _at the PHY_ level, which is consumed by the
macb to adjust the PHY reset state on remove.

My question is: why is the PHY reset GPIO management not the
responsibility of the PHY driver/core itself?
