Yes, as mentioned above this wont work for PHYs which has a 
clear-on-read
status register, because you may loose interrupts between 
handle_interrupt()
and phy_clear_interrupt().

And esp. Russell reply. I tried using handle_interrupt() but it won't 
work
unless you make the ack_interrupt a NOOP. but even then it won't work 
because
the ack_interrupt is also used during setup etc.

Yes I wasn't sure, if I should just call that function of if it might
change in the future. Also the description doesn't fit. Renaming the 
function
sounded also bad, because its an exported symbol.

I'm open to suggestions ;)

whoops you're right. nice catch.

In the _probe() see patch 2/2.
