Just to be sure i understand this correctly. The MDIO bus master can
be reset using the "switch" reset. So you are adding code to ensure
the "switch" reset is out of reset state, so the MDIO bus master
works.

Given that this is a new property, maybe give it a better name to
indicate it resets both the switch and the MDIO bus master?
