Yes, but phy_init_hw() reconfigures the PHY interrupt during resume.
This is due to phydev->interrupts = PHY_INTERRUPT_DISABLED; in the suspend path, as you mentioned below.

Yes, I confirm that if the PHY interrupt is not disabled in the suspend path, the call to
drv->config_intr() via phy_init_hw() before phy_resume() would be sufficient.
