Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: micrel: lan8814 fix reset of the QSGMII interface

The lan8814 is a quad-phy and it is using QSGMII towards the MAC.
The problem is that everytime when one of the ports is configured then
the PCS is reseted for all the PHYs. Meaning that the other ports can
loose traffic until the link is establish again.
To fix this, do the reset one time for the entire PHY package.
