Okay so picture this: we're doing a software reset of the PHY — no cap, just vibes and register writes.

The way it works is so simple it's kinda iconic: it reads the PHY control register, then it sets/writes the control register reset bit to the PHY. Read, set, write. That's the whole routine. she ate and left no crumbs 💅
