Thanks for pointing out this issue, I made a mistake when doing the search in git repo..
So, if we have to assert a GPIO, there is no common way in pinctrl driver? Have to
do it in driver itself? Like this case, we have to assert the GPIO in fec driver?

Or, by default the GPIO is LOW on the board which is for FEC2, we can just skip it now?
The EPDC driver is NOT enabled yet in upstream mainline.
