Thank you for your comment. The reset deassertion of the MDIO device was usually done by the bootloader (u-boot). However, one of our clients uses proprietary bootloader and doesn't deassert the MDIO reset so failed to access the HW in kernel driver. The reset deassertion is missing in the kernel driver since it was created, should I add a BugFix for the first commit of this driver? Or would it be better if I remove " Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org"?

So are you saying mainline u-boot releases the reset?
The reset deassertion is missing in the kernel driver since it was created, should I add a BugFix for the first commit of this driver?
Yes, that is normal. Ideally the kernel should not depend on u-boot, because often people want to use other bootloaders, e.g. barebox. You should also consider kexec, where one kernel hands over to another kernel, without the bootloader being involved. In such a situation, you ideally want to assert and deassert the reset just to clean away any state the old kernel left around.
But please do note, that the reset is optional, since you need to be able to work with old DT blobs which don't have the reset property in them.

Thank you. I will let the reset property be optional and modify the error-checking in the driver accordingly in V3.

No need to change the error checking, just use devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared().

This rather looks like a missing feature, not a bug. Anyway any description must be in commit message.
