The MAC and PHY interrupt are not synchronized. When multiple phy
interrupt occur while the MAC interrupt is cleared, the phy handle
will not be called which causes the PHY interrupt to remain set
throughout. This is avoided by not clearing the MAC interrupt each
time. When the PHY interrupt is set, the MAC calls the PHY handle
and after processing the timestamp the PHY interrupt is cleared.
Also, avoided repetitive debug messages by replacing netdev_err
with netif_dbg.
