Subject: [PATCH] phy: IRQ cannot be shared

With the way PHY IRQ handler is implemented (all real handling being pushed to
the workqueue and returning IRQ_HANDLED all the time PHY is active), we cannot
really claim that PHY IRQ can be shared when calling request_irq().  

Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@...entembedded.com>

The patch is against DaveM's 'net.git' repo.
I recommend pushing it to the stable kernels as well.
