On MT7530, the HT_XTAL_FSEL field of the HWTRAP register stores a 2-bit
value that represents the frequency of the crystal oscillator connected to
the switch IC. The field is populated by the state of the ESW_P4_LED_0 and
ESW_P4_LED_0 pins, which is done right after reset is deasserted.

  ESW_P4_LED_0    ESW_P3_LED_0    Frequency
  -----------------------------------------
  0               0               Reserved
  0               1               20MHz
  1               0               40MHz
  1               1               25MHz

On MT7531, the XTAL25 bit of the STRAP register stores this. The LAN0LED0
pin is used to populate the bit. 25MHz when the pin is high, 40MHz when
it's low.

These pins are also used with LEDs, therefore, their state can be set to
something other than the bootstrapping configuration. For example, a link
may be established on port 3 before the DSA subdriver takes control of the
switch which would set ESW_P3_LED_0 to high.

Currently on mt7530_setup() and mt7531_setup(), 1000 - 1100 usec delay is
described between reset assertion and deassertion. Some switch ICs in real
life conditions cannot always have these pins set back to the bootstrapping
configuration before reset deassertion in this amount of delay. This causes
wrong crystal frequency to be selected which puts the switch in a
nonfunctional state after reset deassertion.

The tests below are conducted on an MT7530 with a 40MHz crystal oscillator
by Justin Swartz.

With a cable from an active peer connected to port 3 before reset, an
incorrect crystal frequency (0b11 = 25MHz) is selected:

[1] Reset is asserted.
[2] Period of 1000 - 1100 usec.
[3] Reset is deasserted.
[4] Period of 315 usec. HWTRAP register is populated with incorrect
    XTAL frequency.
[5] Signals reflect the bootstrapped configuration.

Increase the delay between reset_control_assert() and
reset_control_deassert(), and gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 0) and
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 1) to 5000 - 5100 usec. This amount
ensures a higher possibility that the switch IC will have these pins back
to the bootstrapping configuration before reset deassertion.

With a cable from an active peer connected to port 3 before reset, the
correct crystal frequency (0b10 = 40MHz) is selected:

Revert commit 2920dd92b980 ("net: dsa: mt7530: disable LEDs before reset").
Changing the state of pins via reset assertion is simpler and more
efficient than doing so by setting the LED controller off.
