Hi all,

This patch series adds optional PHY reset support during EthernetAVB driver
probe and system resume on the Renesas Salvator-X/XS development boards.

The rationale behind this is twofold:
  1. On Salvator-XS, the enable pin of the regulator providing PHY power
     is connected to PRESETn, and PSCI powers down the SoC during system
     suspend.  Hence a PHY reset is needed to restore network functionality
     after resume.
  2. Linux should not rely on the boot loader having reset the PHY, but
     should reset the PHY during driver probe.

The first two patches are destined for David's net-next tree. They update
the EthernetAVB DT bindings, and add support for resetting the PHY during
system resume.

The last two patches are destined for Simon's renesas tree.  They add
properties to describe the EthernetAVB PHY reset topology to the common
Salvator-X/XS and ULCB DTS files.

Thanks!
