And this is why the ARM port is in such a messy situation. It's always
better to "push things into the mach- directory" than improving existing
frameworks to cope with wild ARM SoCs.

fell free to push this through your tree. It _does_ make the PHY driver
slightly better and probably buildable on other arches with
COMPILE_TEST.

Still, I *really* want to see this switching over to reset framework on
v3.16.
