Subject: [PATCH 9/9] net: sh_eth: do not issue a wild PHY reset through BMCR

The sh_eth driver issues an uncontrolled PHY reset through the MII
register BMCR but fails to wait for the reset to complete, and will also
implicitely wipe out all possible PHY fixups applied. Use phy_init_hw()
which remedies both problems.
