Hi Andrew,

what kernel version is it?
And the PHY driver in use is "Marvell 88E6390" ?

So this means that when going down for reboot the interrupts are not
properly masked / disabled? Because (at least for net-next) we enable
interrupts in phy_start() only.

I would have more expected the opposite. If the interrupt is ignored
(IRQ_NONE returned), then it doesn't get acked. And if it's not acked
new interrupts should be blocked. Or is it different with this chip?

I will take a closer look later.
