dt-bindings: mdio: Clarify binding document

The described GPIO reset property is applicable to *all* child PHYs. If
we have one reset line per PHY present on the MDIO bus, these
automatically become properties of the child PHY nodes.

Finally, indicate how the RESET pulse width must be defined, which is
the maximum value of all individual PHYs RESET pulse widths determined
by reading their datasheets.

 These are generic properties that can apply to any MDIO bus.
 
 Optional properties:

+- reset-delay-us: RESET pulse width in microseconds.
 
 A list of child nodes, one per device on the bus is expected. These
 should follow the generic phy.txt, or a device specific binding document.
 
+The 'reset-delay-us' indicates the RESET signal pulse width in microseconds and

 Example :
 This example shows these optional properties, plus other properties
