Christian Grönke 2a83fba6ca igb: Remove superfluous reset to PHY and page 0 selection 
This patch reverts two previous applied patches to fix an issue
that appeared when using SGMII based SFP modules. In the current
state the driver will try to reset the PHY before obtaining the
phy_addr of the SGMII attached PHY. That leads to an error in
e1000_write_phy_reg_sgmii_82575. Causing the initialization to
fail:

    igb: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver - version 5.4.0-k
    igb: Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Intel Corporation.
    igb: probe of ????:??:??.? failed with error -3

The patches being reverted are:

    commit 1827853354
    Author: Aaron Sierra <asierra@xes-inc.com>
    Date:   Tue Nov 29 10:03:56 2016 -0600

        igb: reset the PHY before reading the PHY ID

    commit 440aeca4b9
    Author: Matwey V Kornilov <matwey@sai.msu.ru>
    Date:   Thu Nov 24 13:32:48 2016 +0300

         igb: Explicitly select page 0 at initialization

The first reverted patch directly causes the problem mentioned above.
In case of SGMII the phy_addr is not known at this point and will
only be obtained by 'igb_get_phy_id_82575' further down in the code.
The second removed patch selects forces selection of page 0 in the
PHY. Something that the reset tries to address as well.

As pointed out by Alexander Duzck, the patch below fixes the same
issue but in the proper location:

README 

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
