[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] net: phy: let the driver register its own IRQ handler

[Michael Walle]

There are more and more PHY drivers which has more than just the PHY
link change interrupts. For example, temperature thresholds or PTP
interrupts.

At the moment it is not possible to correctly handle interrupts for PHYs
which has a clear-on-read interrupt status register. It is also likely
that the current approach of the phylib isn't working for all PHYs out
there.

Therefore, this patch let the PHY driver register its own interrupt
handler. To notify the phylib about a link change, the interrupt handler
has to call the new function phy_drv_interrupt().
