Sorry, I made a mistake here, the MAX7320 IO0 is for adjusting FEC1's voltage,
NOT reset, and when I tested MAX7320 driver, I did NOT notice that the
CONFIG_GPIO_MAX732X is NOT enabled in imx_v6_v7_defconfig, so I thought
it is NOT working, after enabling MAX7320 driver, max7320 is working as expected,
will send out another patch set including fec driver and MAX7320 config, thanks for your patience.

Anson.
