mdio_bus_phy_resume() does trigger the state machine via
phy_start_machine(), so link state changes *are* detected after wakeup.

But you're saying that's not sufficient and you really want the
PHY driver's IRQ handler to be called, do I understand that correctly?

That could be achieved with a flag indicating that the IRQ handler
needs to be rerun after resume.  A simple invocation of irq_wake_thread()
will then achieve that.

It has also occurred to me that not clearing the IRQ may lead to
an interrupt storm if it's level-triggered.  So I need to disable
the IRQ and re-enable it after the PHY has been resumed.
Back to the drawing board...

Thanks,

Lukas
