Sure will split it up.

Ok, will make it as separate patch

Yes, will correct it

Since "lan78xx_open" calls  "lan78xx_reset" (Device reset) it is required to start/enable interrupt back
Initially when "phydev->state = PHY_READY" state  "phy_start" will not enable interrupts,
However after "lan78xx_stop" when "phy_stop" makes "phydev->state = PHY_HALTED"
Subsequent call to "phy_start" will enable interrupt.

Hence "phy_start_interrupts" used after "lan78xx_reset"
