This doesn't work for imx6sx-sdb but I suspect an imx issue. Log:

This turns the phy off and on again instead of leaving it up from uboot
and it doesn't work for some reason. However looking at
reg_fixed_voltage_probe introducing an edge seems to be intentional for
regulators which are not marked with "enabled-at-boot". Right?
It's possible that you exposed an imx board-specific bug: maybe power
cycling the phy after uboot needs some missing fixup?
Apparently if I revert your patch the old behavior is to never touch
this GPIO. I spent a while debugging this and the cause seems to be
that this regulator has the "gpios" property instead of "gpio".
The "gpios" property is not actually handled by old regulator-fixed
of_get_named_gpio(np, "gpio", 0) call but only by the new path going
through of_find_gpio.
I can also break boot by fixing the gpios property on stable 4.18:
reg_enet_3v3: regulator-enet-3v3 {
compatible = "regulator-fixed";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet_3v3>;
regulator-name = "enet_3v3";
regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
- gpios = <&gpio2 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ gpio = <&gpio2 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};
Any suggestions? This turned out to be quite messy.
