Looks good to me on first glance, testing will confirm
further :-)

Probably, to kill the long delays with locks held, we just
need to add a PHY config semaphore.  Interrupts that want to
try and program the PHY just do a down_trylock() on that semaphore
and defer their work if it cannot be acquired.
