You are right, I missed that part. We can't really assign a dedicated
interrupt line for your PHY, so we need another way of dealing with
these PHY interrupts present at the Ethernet MAC level.

As of today, the only way to work around it is not to use
of_mdiobus_register() and use mdiobus_register() directly which will
allow you to properly describe such a configuration.

Ok, I will take a look into this, I realize that I was calling this
from a workqueue which won't show the locking problem, thanks for the
report.

Right, then make that a separate patch instead.
