What is this actually resetting?

So you don't have any PHY handling, or any MDIO bus master code. So i
would drop this, until the MDIO architecture question is answered. I
also wonder how much use the MAC driver is without any PHY code?
Unless you have a good reason, i don't think we should merge this
until it makes the needed calls into phylib. It is not much code to
add.
