Hi Marc

Could you try swapping the devm_gpiod_get() for
devm_gpiod_get_optional().

It is kind of hidden, but:

-       else if (!gpio_is_valid(phy_reset))
-               return 0;

made the GPIO optional, since -2 is not a valid GPIO number and so it
would silently return.

The real fix will need to be a bit more complex, since we don't want
to do the sleeps etc if the GPIO is not present.
