    mediatek: fix PHY autodetection on Cudy WR3000H
    
    Newer Cudy WR3000H units have a Motorcomm YT8821 PHY instead of a
    Realtek PHY on the WAN port. Before this commit, the Motorcomm PHY
    could not be autodetected by the kernel -- the PHY would show up as
    just a generic clause 45 PHY and the proper driver would not be loaded.
    
    The cause of the detection failure likely was that the YT8821 PHY was
    held in reset during PHY detection. To fix this, move the reset GPIO
    definition to the MDIO bus level. This reset line is deasserted before
    the autodetection process, see also [1]. With this change, both Realtek
    and Motorcomm PHYs can be supported with a single device tree.
