This makes sense if someone is using that device and following the
reference circuit exactly. Working with the ksz9477 I can tell you
that the reference reset circuit in figure 7.2 of the datasheet
doesn't work with a VDDIO of 1.8V. And hardware engineers like to take
some liberties anyway...

But 100ms is reasonable in general. It will allow for the expected
rise time of a wide range of possible reset circuit designs and isn't
so long that it will have a major impact on start-up time.

So it looks good to me.
