You may be a little bit confused Heiner.
This series adds support for exactly _that_ meaning of shared interrupts.
Shared interrupts (aka wired-OR on the PCB) don't work today with the
PHY library. I have a board that won't even boot to prompt when the
interrupt lines of its 2 PHYs are enabled, that this series fixes.
You might need to take another look through the commit messages I'm afraid.
