Resetting the VSC73xx PHY was problematic because the MDIO bus, without a busy check, read and wrote incorrect register values. My investigation indicates that resetting the PHY only triggers changes in configuration. However, improper register values written earlier were only exposed after a soft reset. The reset itself wasn't the issue; rather, the problem stemmed from incorrect read and write operations. A 'soft_reset' can now proceed normally. There are no reasons to keep the VSC73xx from being reset. This commit removes the reset blockade in the 'vsc73xx_phy_write' function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
