the interrupt doesn't handle that. It is used to detect when a PHY
register has changed once the MIIM controller is configured to poll the
phys. At some point, this could be used to replace the PHY interrupts
but it doesn't correspond to the linux model so I didn't investigate too
much.

I replied to Andrew who had the same question.
