I agree about the speed, but it seems like interrupts on this PHY are
not so reliable. Polling always works. But unfortunately, you cannot
have both interrupts and polling to fix up problems when interrupts
fail. Your call, do you think interrupts really do work?
If you say that tja1101 works as expected, then please just use the
link up/down bits for it.
