This is, erm, interesting.

And more interesting code.

We have to find a better way to do this, you should not by copying
core PHY code into a MAC driver.

So it seems to me, the PHY interrupt you request is not actually a PHY
interrupt. It looks more like an interrupt controller. The EVTEN0
suggests that there could be multiple interrupts here, of which one if
the PHY? This is more a generic GPIO block which can do interrupts
when the pins are configured as inputs? Or is it an interrupt
controller with multiple interrupts?

Once you model this correctly in Linux, you can probably remove all
the interesting code.
