GPIO for PHY reset at boot time

I have the reset lines for my PHY's connected to SYSBOOT pins LCD_DATA9 and LCD_DATA10. They have external 100ohm pulldowns.

SYSBOOT[15:0] = 1000 0000 0001 1100

Running TI Linux SDK (03.01.00.06), on bootup I measure that these pins are high (high-z default?).

The problem is that the MDIO detection of my PHY's is very unreliable and I am pretty sure it's because I need to send them a reset pulse (active-low). This needs to be before MDIO detection.

How do I do this? Thanks.
