net: phy: Do not perform software reset for Generic PHY
The Generic PHY driver is a catch-all PHY driver and it should preserve whatever prior initialization has been done by boot loader or firmware agents. For specific PHY device configuration it is expected that a specialized PHY driver would take over that role. Resetting the generic PHY was a bad idea that has lead to several complaints and downstream workarounds e.g: in OpenWrt/LEDE so restore the behavior prior to 87aa9f9c61ad ("net: phy: consolidate PHY reset in phy_init_hw()"). Reported-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> Fixes: 87aa9f9c61ad ("net: phy: consolidate PHY reset in phy_init_hw()") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
