[RFC PATCH 08/17] drivers/net/bfin_mac: Don't unnecessarily reset the PHY

From: Kyle Moffett
Date: Thu Oct 20 2011 - 17:14:16 EST


The PHY is already reset during driver probing, and this manual reset
afterwards will wipe out board-specific PHY fixups and driver-specific
phy->drv->config_init() register tweaks.
