net: phy: introduce a quirk PHY_FLAG_BROKEN_RESET
Current driver always performs a phy soft reset when connecting the phy
device, but soft reset is not always supported by a phy device, so
introduce a quirk PHY_FLAG_BROKEN_RESET to let such a phy device to skip
soft reset. This commit uses 'flags' of phy device structure to store the
quirk.
