4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit c3e70edd7c2eed6acd234627a6007627f5c76e8e ]

This reverts:
commit 33c133cc7598 ("phy: IRQ cannot be shared")

On hardware with multiple PHY devices hooked up to the same IRQ line, allow
them to share it.

Sergei Shtylyov says:
"I'm not sure now what was the reason I concluded that the IRQ sharing
was impossible... most probably I thought that the kernel IRQ handling
code exited the loop over the IRQ actions once IRQ_HANDLED was returned
-- which is obviously not so in reality..."
