Hi Roger

Thanks for making this generic.

Please add device tree binding documentation. I think that actually
means you have to document MDIO in general, since there currently is
not a binding document.

Maybe do this once, where you read the device tree property.

If the property does not exist, it is guaranteed mdio->reset_delay_us
is not changed. So you can set it to the default value before, then do
this call.
