The fact that the phy should be reset when the clk is provided to it, is not
connected at all with the fec. I think that fec_main does not register itself
as clock provider, You "should" define the phy to have a clock if this is needed
during the restoration and we should not give any "magic" at controller level.

* Marco * Your commit bedd8d78aba300860cec3f85d6ff549b3b7f2679 is clear
and I have tried to use it but if I remember the problem is the clock
is provided
by the ethernet controller.
