That driver should probably be fixed, while it most likely does not make
any significant difference during probe/connect, since config_init() and
config_intr() are virtually happening at the same time, this is not
necessarily true when disconnecting from the PHY where we really want
config_intr() to effectively disable the interrupts and not leaving
something enabled that would now become unmaskable, because no more
driver attached.

I agree with Andrew here, that this should be an AND here, both
callbacks must be implemented for interrupts to work correctly.
