DP83869HM: DP83869 PHY reset

Part Number: DP83869HM

Dear colleagues, 

Please take a look at this screenshot from the datasheet:

This means that sometimes (rarely, but possibly) PHY could hang out while trying to negotiate 1000Base-X connection, and we need to relaunch negotiation. But what if we want to create passive switch, which will have no SMI-equipped host controller inside - are we able to reset PHY to get rid of this hangout? Will it help?
