net: phy: consolidate PHY reset in phy_init_hw()
There are quite a lot of drivers touching a PHY device MII_BMCR
register to reset the PHY without taking care of:
1) ensuring that BMCR_RESET is cleared after a given timeout
2) the PHY state machine resuming to the proper state and re-applying
potentially changed settings such as auto-negotiation
Introduce phy_poll_reset() which will take care of polling the MII_BMCR
for the BMCR_RESET bit to be cleared after a given timeout or return a
timeout error code.
In order to make sure the PHY is in a correct state, phy_init_hw() first
issues a software reset through MII_BMCR and then applies any fixups.
