I see that my description is not very good. What I should have said
is that we don't want to use the HW reset GPIO as it results in things
being done that we do not want done. Specifically, when the switch is
hit with the HW reset GPIO, it results in the switch's copper PHYs
being HW reset which we want to avoid as this results in unnecessary
network downtime on a soft reboot of the processor. With the HW reset
GPIO not in the devicetree description, the switch driver resorts to
doing a SW reset which resets the switch core but not the switch's
copper PHYs. This results in a much shorter network downtime on a
soft reboot of the processor.
I can do a v2 of the patch with the description updated if you think
it would be appropriate.
