These are generic properties that can apply to any MDIO bus.
Optional properties:
-- reset-gpios: List of one or more GPIOs that control the RESET lines
- of the PHYs on that MDIO bus.
-- reset-delay-us: RESET pulse width in microseconds as per PHY datasheet.
+- reset-gpios: One GPIO that control the RESET lines of all PHYs on that MDIO
+ bus.
+- 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
+applies to all PHY devices. It must therefore be appropriately determined based
+on all PHY requirements (maximum value of all per-PHY RESET pulse widths).

Example :
This example shows these optional properties, plus other properties
required for the TI Davinci MDIO driver.
