Per the discussion on the minnowboard platform drivers in this series
(which provide the minnow_phy_reset() function), I will be rewriting
this patch to provide its own phy_physical_reset() or similar which will
look like the other two phy functions I've added and will take a GPIO
line as an argument, determined by pci_id.

Please disregard this patch for now.

Thanks,
