Deprecated optional properties:
        To avoid these, create a phy node according to phy.txt in the same
        directory, and point the fec's "phy-handle" property to it. Then use
        the phy's reset binding, again described by phy.txt.
- phy-reset-gpios : Should specify the gpio for phy reset
- phy-reset-duration : Reset duration in milliseconds.  Should present
  only if property "phy-reset-gpios" is available.  Missing the property
  will have the duration be 1 millisecond.  Numbers greater than 1000 are

Jagan refer maybe that property is deprecated
