The device has only one interrupt line (INTRP_N), although there may be
applications which use additionally the GPIO (PPS/PEROUT) output as an
interrupt.

I assume that the PHY driver currently uses polling (as the KSZ9477 driver
used to have no interrupt functionality. Maybe this can be changed in future,
as the KSZ hardware has hierarchical interrupt enable/status registers.

I haven't checked yet, but I'll try.

Probably this can be kept as it is. The hardware will only emit interrupts
if these have been explicitly enabled. Although the *port* interrupts are
enabled here (and all bits in the "Port Interrupt Mask Register" (section
5.2.1.12) are active after reset), actually no interrupts should be raised as
the ports sub units (PTP, PHY and ACL) don't emit interrupt after reset:
- PHY (section 5.2.2.19): All interrupts are disabled after reset
- PTP (section 5.2.11.11): dito
- ACL (not found): I got never interrupts from here

I build a bitmask where the bits 0..(dev->port_cnt-1) are set... I'll whether
GENMASK() can be used with variable data as argument.

You are right.

No idea where I originally found this. It's some time ago when I wrote this.

I don't need it. Is there a rule when to add shared? At least the KSZ should
be able to tell whether it has raised an IRQ or not.

As the device has just been reset and no concrete interrupts have been enabled,
there should be no need for this.
