> Commit 6ac3ce8295e6 ("net: bcmgenet: Remove excessive PHY reset")
> removed the bcmgenet_mii_reset() function from bcmgenet_power_up() and
> bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() functions.  In so doing it broke the reset
> of the internal PHY devices used by the GENETv1-GENETv3 which required
> this reset before the UniMAC was enabled.  It also broke the internal
> GPHY devices used by the GENETv4 because the config_init that installed
> the AFE workaround was no longer occurring after the reset of the GPHY
> performed by bcmgenet_phy_power_set() in bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup().
> In addition the code in bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() related to the
> "enable APD" comment goes with the bcmgenet_mii_reset() so it should
> have also been removed.

> bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() function.  Had it done so, the
> bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() function would have been empty and could

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
