Hi Andrew,

thank You once again for helpful hint.

After a brief investigation, I tend to agree with your assessment that 
the issue lies in the driver—likely the stmmac driver — which is outside 
the scope of my changes.

Therefore, I would suggest keeping IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING for now, or 
alternatively not using a hardware IRQ at all and falling back to 
polling, as done in stm32mp15xx-dkx.dtsi.

Best regards,
