Hi,

As Andrew said, that is just an example code that could work for some
devices but should be extended depending on how the actual PHY is
working.

For example, the VSC8584 will still be trigerring the link state machine
just on the link change interrupt, I am not changing this:

static irqreturn_t vsc8584_handle_interrupt(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	irqreturn_t ret;
	int irq_status;

	irq_status = phy_read(phydev, MII_VSC85XX_INT_STATUS);
	if (irq_status < 0)
		return IRQ_NONE;

	/* Timestamping IRQ does not set a bit in the global INT_STATUS, so
	 * irq_status would be 0.
	 */
	ret = vsc8584_handle_ts_interrupt(phydev);
	if (!(irq_status & MII_VSC85XX_INT_MASK_MASK))
		return ret;

	if (irq_status & MII_VSC85XX_INT_MASK_EXT)
		vsc8584_handle_macsec_interrupt(phydev);

	if (irq_status & MII_VSC85XX_INT_MASK_LINK_CHG)
		phy_trigger_machine(phydev);

	return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
