If I understand what's going on correctly here, any instance of the VSC8541 phy
has the unexpected feature where unmanaged mode is entered by following this
particular reset sequence. The specific wording from the datasheet is
https://www.mouser.com/ds/2/523/Microsemi_VSC8541-01_Datasheet_10496_V40-1148034.pdf
3.18.2 Unmanaged Applications
To configure the device using unmanaged mode, perform the following steps:
1. Apply power.
2. Apply RefClk.
3. Release reset, drive high. Power and clock must be high before releasing reset.
Note: For unmanaged mode operation, the NRESET pin must have two rising
edges (logical 0-1-0-1 transition sequence) applied at this step.
4. Wait 15 ms minimum.
5. (Optional) For applications that gain register access to the device
using the management interface, steps 6–10 can then be performed in
order to modify default settings.
which is where the double reset sequence comes from.
For the HiFive Unleashed (a board with this phy) we perform this reset sequence
in an early stage of the bootloader knows as the FSBL
// VSC8541 PHY reset sequence; leave pull-down active for 2ms
nsleep(2000000);
// Set GPIO 12 (PHY NRESET) to OE=1 and OVAL=1
atomic_fetch_or(&GPIO_REG(GPIO_OUTPUT_VAL), PHY_NRESET);
atomic_fetch_or(&GPIO_REG(GPIO_OUTPUT_EN), PHY_NRESET);
nsleep(100);
// Reset PHY again to enter unmanaged mode
atomic_fetch_and(&GPIO_REG(GPIO_OUTPUT_VAL), ~PHY_NRESET);
nsleep(100);
atomic_fetch_or(&GPIO_REG(GPIO_OUTPUT_VAL), PHY_NRESET);
nsleep(15000000);
which you can see here
https://github.com/sifive/freedom-u540-c000-bootloader/blob/master/fsbl/main.c#L273
This is all fine as long as Linux doesn't go and reset the phy again. Until
bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") was the case. After
that commit I believe phylib is resetting the phy while attempting to enter
unmanaged mode, which is now allowed in this particular chip.
Since it appears the phy is not usually described by the device tree but is
instead discovered by probing a MII-based ID register, it seems the best place
to put this is within the phy driver itself. I find it's usually best to
describe things with code, so I hacked up something like

Note that I haven't even compiled this, and that msleep() is almost certainly
garbage.
Am I missing something?
