 - phy-reset-active-high : If present then the reset sequence using the GPIO
   specified in the "phy-reset-gpios" property is reversed (H=reset state,
   L=operation state).
+- phy-reset-post-delay : Post reset delay in milliseconds. If present then
+  a delay of phy-reset-post-delay milliseconds will be observed after the
+  phy-reset-gpios has been toggled. Can be omitted thus no delay is

 - phy-supply : regulator that powers the Ethernet PHY.
 - phy-handle : phandle to the PHY device connected to this device.
 - fixed-link : Assume a fixed link. See fixed-link.txt in the same directory.
