I will test it but I doubt it works out-of-the-box in my setup:
my board routes the RXER/INTR_32 pin of the IP101GR to the SoC. that
pin defaults to "RXER" (receive error signal). so I need to come up
with some extra patches which toggle the bit to output the interrupt
signal on that pin

in other words: I'll give your patches a try as soon as I have time
and give my Tested-by along with my extra patches on top of yours.
