Page 7:

  INTERRUPT: This pin can be programmed as an interrupt output instead
  of a Power down input. In this mode, Interrupts is asserted low
  using this pin.

Also:

  When operating this pin as an interrupt, the pin is an open-drain
  architecture.

This allows you to connect multiple PHYs to one SoC interrupt, shared
interrupts, which again needs level interrupts.

So the datasheet says it is active low.

If you decide to stay with edge, i suggest you put a comment in DT,
something like:

# The PHY data sheet says the interrupt is active low, but the
# interrupt controller does not support level interrupts. Use it as
# falling edge and hope for the best.
