I'm just wondering if that driver is broken if it enables interrupts
in config_init()? phylib deliberately enable/disable interrupts. If we
cannot do that, can we get an interrupt when we don't expect it? Can
we miss a state transition which would be reported when interrupts
would be re-enabled immediately triggering an interrupt?
Well, the current code does not seem to care if one is missing. So i
doubt this is making it more broken.
So,
