I notice 99f81afc139c was reverted in mainline with commit b43bd72835a5.  
The revert commit points out that:

"It was papering over the real problem, which is fixed by commit
f555f34fdc58 ("net: phy: fix auto-negotiation stall due to unavailable
interrupt")"

Maybe f555f34fdc58 should be backported to 4.4 instead of 99f81afc139c?

Thanks,
