+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: lantiq: gphy: Remove reboot/remove reset asserts
+
+While doing a global software reset, these bits are not cleared and let
+some bootloader fail to initialise the GPHYs. The bootloader don't expect
+these bits to be set, as they aren't during power on.
+
+The asserts were a workaround for a wrong syscon-reboot mask. With a mask
+set which includes the GPHY resets of the first reset register, the
+resets of the second reset register arn't required any more.
