Yes, the (last_tag << 24) is also written to the intr-mbox-0 to
acknowledge the status block.

You should print out the entire status block.  It shouldn't be zero.
The status tag should be incrementing for each interrupt.

If you are expecting link up, the first 32-bit word of the status block
should have bit 1 set (bit 0 should also be set).  I think the driver is
not seeing the status block correctly, so it is not acknowledging the
link change interrupt and the status_tag.
