Subject: [PATCH] net: mdiobus: Prevent spike on MDIO bus reset signal

The mdio_bus reset code first de-asserted the reset by allocating with
GPIOD_OUT_LOW, then asserted and de-asserted again. In other words, if
the reset signal defaulted to asserted, there'd be a short "spike"
before the reset.

Instead, directly assert the reset signal using GPIOD_OUT_HIGH, this
removes the spike and also removes a line of code since the signal
is already high.
