Hi Linus

This all looks correct, and as i suggested a while ago.

But since then, i discovered something, which allows this to be
simplified.

The mdio bus structure has an irq array. If you put the interrupt
numbers into this array, when the phy is connected, it will use that
interrupt. You then don't need a lot of this in your device tree.

Take a look at:

    net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Add MDIO interrupts for internal PHYs
    
    When registering an MDIO bus, it is possible to pass an array of
    interrupts, one per address on the bus. phylib will then associate the
    interrupt to the PHY device, if no other interrupt is provided.
    
    Some of the global2 interrupts are PHY interrupts. Place them into the
    MDIO bus structure.
