I see. I'll use this.

Surely, it's desiable to return zero and error code.

Indeed. I'll re-consider handling return value.

In the general case, I think PHY events like changing link state are transmitted
to CPU as interrupt via interrupt controller, then PHY driver itself can handle
the interrupt.

And in this case, PHY events are transmitted to MAC as one of its interrupt factor,
then I thought that MAC driver had to tell the events to PHY.

It's convenient. I'll replace it.

Indeed. This part has to check if the specified mode is supported accurately.

Okay. I'll remove it.

Yes, I found it was wrong.
The device node has not a child node but phy-handle to specify PHY.

I understand that these parameters have been initialized.

It's convernient.

Ditto.

I thought that the driver had to stop the own interrupt of PHY device
because it might be already enabled.
But surely we don't think of such a case.

The phy_start_interrupts() calls request_threaded_irq(), and it wll succeed
when PHY node has own 'interrupts' property.
In this case, it will fail and phydev->irq sets PHY_POLL.

However, phydev->irq is initialized PHY_POLL in phy_probe(),
surely it isn't necessary.

I see. I'll check it.
