Thanks for the links.

Have you encountered this one?

MT7530 Giga Switch Programming Guide v0.1:
https://github.com/libc0607/arduino_mt7530/blob/master/MT7530_programming_guide_V00.pdf

It has some timing diagrams, but nothing I found for reset.

The HWTRAP description has some bits swapped, so I guess those were 
typos,
in the case of XTAL_SELECT.

Yes, I seem to have missed that. I thought your request for the
patch to be reverted definitely would have been performed, or at
least queued, seeing as you're the maintainer.
