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. thanks, greg k-h
