It wasn't applied "by mistake", as the commit log for this says it
resolves an issue that was created in 2c7b49212a86 ("phy: fix the use of
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT") which was in 3.11.

I'll go revert this now, as regressions are not good, perhaps some other
change that happened between 4.5 and 4.9 in this area keeps the error
you are seeing from happening.
