AN8811HB needs a MCU soft-reset cycle before firmware loading begins.The hash is incorrect, should be 5afda1d734ed
Assert the MCU (hold it in reset) and immediately deassert (release)
via a dedicated PBUS register pair (0x5cf9f8 / 0x5cf9fc), accessed
through a registered mdio_device at PHY-addr+8.
Add __air_pbus_reg_write() as a low-level helper taking a struct
mdio_device *, create and register the PBUS mdio_device in
an8811hb_probe() and store it in priv->pbusdev, then implement
an8811hb_mcu_assert() / _deassert() on top of it. Add
an8811hb_remove() to unregister the PBUS device on teardown. Wire
both calls into an8811hb_load_firmware() and en8811h_restart_mcu()
so every firmware load or MCU restart on AN8811HB correctly sequences
the reset control registers.
Fixes: 0a55766b7711 ("net: phy: air_en8811h: add Airoha AN8811HB support")
This is an8811hb pbus sequence. Therefore, it doesn't need to be modified.

Will writing the lower 16 bits before the upper 16 bits cause the
hardware transaction to fire with stale upper data?
The __air_buckpbus_reg_write() helper triggers the 32-bit transaction
using the lower 16 bits as the execution trigger. If this hardware
behaves similarly, should AIR_PBUS_DATA_HIGH be populated before writing
the lower 16 bits?

Can this create an out-of-bounds array access if the base PHY address is
high?
The mdio_map array in struct mii_bus has a fixed size of PHY_MAX_ADDR (32).
If phydev->mdio.addr is 24 or higher, adding EN8811H_PBUS_ADDR_OFFS (8)
will result in an address of 32 or more.
Neither mdio_device_create() nor mdio_device_register() validate that
the address is within PHY_MAX_ADDR. When mdiobus_register_device()
executes mdiodev->bus->mdio_map[mdiodev->addr] = mdiodev, could this
write past the end of the array and corrupt adjacent memory?
