So it's not a separate reset.
Whether bus isolation should be controlled together with the reset or
not could be argued, but exposing this as a separate reset control via
the reset API would not be correct.

This on the other hand sounds like there is a separate PHY reset line?
If so, I think that should be modeled as a separate control.
