True. But, on embedded hardware, such line may be connected into the
SoC. Actually, from the IGEPv3 expansion diagram:

	https://www.isee.biz/support/downloads/item/igepv2-expansion-rc-schematics

The INT line is connected to CAM_IRQ. That's connected to GPIO_154 pin
at OMAP3.

So, on a first glance, it seems possible to use it, instead of polling.

Yes, I considered this option when I wrote the driver. It could work, 
although it would likely have some performance drawback, as the driver
would need to poll it at least 60 times per second.

True, but the bridge driver would need to handle such data. 

I remember I looked on this when I wrote the driver, but I was
unable to find a way for em28xx to parse (or forward) such
data packets.

Thanks,
