Thanks, that makes sense, although we've both failed to work
out if mdio->irq is set, and rc <= 0 case, so:

  	rc = irq_of_parse_and_map(child, 0);
  	if (rc > 0) {
  		phy->irq = rc;
  		if (mdio->irq)
  			mdio->irq[addr] = rc;
  	} else {
		if (mdio->irq)
			phy->irq = mdio->irq[addr];
	}

I think that covers all cases. This does rely on mdio->irq
being initialised to PHY_POLL if allocated.

Once this is in, it may be easier then to not allocate
mdio->irq for the OF case by default unless the driver
registering the PHY knows it has the interrupt number(s)
for the PHY already.
