Hi David
You need active low interrupts. Without it, i think you are always
going to have race conditions which will cause interrupts to get
stuck/lost.
I would suggest you remove the interrupt from your device tree and use
the mv88e6xxx polling method. If i remember correctly, it currently
polls 10 per second, so PHY link up/down is going to be 5 times faster
on average than when phylib is polling the PHY.
