[PATCH net v4 1/4] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: Interrupt is active low, level triggered.
From: Selvamani Rajagopal via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 15:55:33 EST
From: Selvamani Rajagopal <Selvamani.Rajagopal@xxxxxxxxxx>
According OPEN Alliance 10BASET1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface
specification, interrupt is active low, level triggered.
Fixes: 2c6ce5354453 ("net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement mac-phy interrupt")
Signed-off-by: Selvamani Rajagopal <Selvamani.Rajagopal@xxxxxxxxxx>
Changes in v4:
Interrupt handling mechanism changed to threaded irq because it is
best suited to handle level triggered interrupt. Threaded irq
automatically blocks further interrupts until interrupting
conditions are cleared by its handler.
Changes in v3:
interrupt registered as level triggerred
