Hi Mark,

Thank you for your review.

Make sense, will improve this part in the next version.

The ARM core registers itself in "fsl_xcvr_prepare" (the code below) just for a subset of all supported interrupts:
=====
ret = regmap_update_bits(xcvr->regmap, FSL_XCVR_EXT_IER0,
FSL_XCVR_IRQ_EARC_ALL, FSL_XCVR_IRQ_EARC_ALL);
=====
FSL_XCVR_IRQ_EARC_ALL - this mask represents all the interrupts we are interested in and we handle in interrupt handler,
But this is just a subset of all interrupts the M0+ core is able to assert. Not very intuitive, I think I need to reword it somehow.

The interrupt may be asserted right before DMA starts to fill the TX FIFO if I recall correctly.
I've added it just to debug the IP behavior, will check and change it to err it in next version if it is the case.

No, will remove it in v2.
