net: phy: consolidate PHY reset
This patchset consolidates the PHY reset through the MII BMCR
register by using a central place were this is done.
This patchset resumes the work Kyle Moffett started here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/20/301
Note that at this point, drivers doing funky things after issuing
a PHY reset using phy_init_hw() will still suffer from PHY state
machine problems, this will be taken care of later on.
