[PATCH v2 3/4] dt-bindings: net: mdio: add phy-id-read-needs-reset property

[Buday Csaba]

Some Ethernet PHYs require a hard reset before accessing their MDIO
registers. When the ID is not provided by a compatible string,
reading the PHY ID may fail on such devices.

This patch introduces a new device tree property called
`phy-id-read-needs-reset`, which can be used to hard reset the
PHY before attempting to read its ID via MDIO.
