Actually, the phylib now does uses threaded IRQs, since i implemented interrupt support for the mv88e6xxx driver. Its interrupts require MDIO transactions, so have to be threaded. However, i don't think using interrupts on the pca9538 are reliable. Interrupt support is compile time optional for that driver. It is not clear to me if distributions do compile the driver with interrupts enabled. So it could be the probe fails with OpenWRT, Debian, etc...
