[PATCH v7 4/6] phy: realtek: usb2: introduce reset controller struct

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The newly introduced PHY reset is deasserted too late (in `rtk_phy_init()`), causing fatal MMIO register accesses during `probe()` if the static configuration omits explicit initializers.

phy: realtek: usb2: introduce reset controller struct

This commit introduces a reset_control struct to the driver to handle
deasserting the usb2 phy reset line using 
devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive().

[Severity: High]
Can this cause a bus hang or read timeout during probe()?

Since the newly introduced reset is only deasserted later when consumers
call rtk_phy_init(), the IP is still held in reset here.

However, parse_phy_data() can perform direct MMIO reads against the PHY to
cache default values if the static configuration lacks explicit initializers:

drivers/phy/realtek/phy-rtk-usb2.c:update_dc_driving_level() {
    ...
    if (!phy_cfg->page0[4].addr) {
        rtk_phy_set_page(phy_reg, 0);
        phy_cfg->page0[4].addr = PAGE0_0XE4;
        phy_cfg->page0[4].data = rtk_phy_read(phy_reg, PAGE0_0XE4);
    }
    ...
}

Will this cause issues when interacting with the PHY registers while the
device is still in reset?
