The point here is, it is an interrupt, from the perspective of the PHY
hardware and its driver. But the interrupt handler is never being
called because the interrupt output from the chip is not causing an
actual interrupt. Fix that, and your problem goes away. Or you need to
add a whole new mechanism that you are using the interrupt hardware in
the PHY some something else than an actual interrupt.
