Hi Florian

I've not seen any other driver do this. Maybe that is just my
ignorance.

Please could you Cc: the interrupt and power management
Maintainers. This seems like a generic problem, and should have a
generic solution.

In the setup which needs this, does the output from the PHY go to a
PMIC, not a SoC interrupt? And i assume the PMIC is not interrupt
capable?
