Hi Gregory

It is convention to use the plural here. So it should be phy-reset-gpios.

This does not handle the flags part of the GPIO descriptor in device
tree. i.e. ACTIVE_LOW or ACTIVE_HIGH. I think the FEC driver has the
same issue, and is not the best driver to copy. Using the gpiod API
will solve this issue.
