+Subject: net: phy: micrel: set soft_reset callback to genphy_soft_reset for KSZ8081
+
+From: Christian Melki <christian.melki@t2data.com>
+
+commit 764d31cacfe48440745c4bbb55a62ac9471c9f19 upstream.
+
+Following a similar reinstate for the KSZ9031.
+
+Older kernels would use the genphy_soft_reset if the PHY did not implement
+a .soft_reset.
+
+Bluntly removing that default may expose a lot of situations where various
+PHYs/board implementations won't recover on various changes.
+Like with this implementation during a 4.9.x to 5.4.x LTS transition.
+I think it's a good thing to remove unwanted soft resets but wonder if it
+did open a can of worms?
+
+Atleast this fixes one iMX6 FEC/RMII/8081 combo.
+
+Fixes: 6e2d85ec0559 ("net: phy: Stop with excessive soft reset")
