mdio_bus: Issue GPIO RESET to PHYs.

Some boards [1] leave the PHYs at an invalid state
during system power-up or reset thus causing unreliability
issues with the PHY which manifests as PHY not being detected
or link not functional. To fix this, these PHYs need to be RESET
via a GPIO connected to the PHY's RESET pin.

Some boards have a single GPIO controlling the PHY RESET pin of all
PHYs on the bus whereas some others have separate GPIOs controlling
individual PHY RESETs.

In both cases, the RESET de-assertion cannot be done in the PHY driver
as the PHY will not probe till its reset is de-asserted.
So do the RESET de-assertion in the MDIO bus driver.

+Common MDIO bus properties.
+
+These are generic properties that can apply to any MDIO bus.
+
+Optional properties:
+- reset-gpios: List of one or more GPIOs that control the RESET lines
+  of the PHYs on that MDIO bus.
+- reset-delay-us: RESET pulse width in microseconds as per PHY datasheet.
+
+A list of child nodes, one per device on the bus is expected. These
+should follow the generic phy.txt, or a device specific binding document.
+
+Example :
+This example shows these optional properties, plus other properties
+required for the TI Davinci MDIO driver.
+
+	davinci_mdio: ethernet@0x5c030000 {
+		compatible = "ti,davinci_mdio";
+		reg = <0x5c030000 0x1000>;
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		reset-gpios = <&gpio2 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+		reset-delay-us = <2>;   /* PHY datasheet states 1us min */
+
+		ethphy0: ethernet-phy@1 {
+			reg = <1>;
+		};
+
+		ethphy1: ethernet-phy@3 {
+			reg = <3>;
