Problem: uboot ethernet always have "DMA reset timeout" after linux usage, detected on VIM2 VIM3 VIM3L amlogic devices, mainline uboot and mainline linux > 5.1? .
How-to reproduce: 1) Poweron device => ethernet uboot work fine. 2) Linux start and ethernet interface up and same works. 3) Reboot to uboot again and we cant use ethernet anymore. uboot always have "DMA reset timeout" inside designware_eth_init() only poweroff/poweron cycle can solve this problem. Solution: add phy_reset() into waiting DMA reset cycle, this insertion doesn't break normal behaviour (maybe). Note: same need explore real problem why its happens! because this patch may be just hack.
