phy_init_hw() now issues a PHY reset through BMCR_RESET, you might
want to use it instead of this here:

- the 100 microseconds delay might not be sufficient for all PHYs out there
- any PHY fixup (although there are none for BCM47xx yet) would be
wiped out by this "wild" PHY reset

This is quite new, so I do not expect you knew about this.
