Before submitting the change I had a look at the phylib history for
when the wrong behavior was introduced. However it has been there since
introduction of phylib in 2005. Different patches fixed this in few,
but not all places.
Latest one was 84a527a41f38 "net: phylib: fix interrupts re-enablement
in phy_start" which just partially fixed the issue. So we could
declare the change now to fix this fix.
