Hi Heiner,

If I understand correctly what you are suggesting, the
.handle_interrupt() for the aquantia would look like this:

static irqreturn_t aqr_handle_interrupt(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	int irq_status;

	irq_status = phy_read_mmd(phydev, MDIO_MMD_AN, MDIO_AN_TX_VEND_INT_STATUS2);
	if (irq_status < 0) {
		phy_error(phydev);
		return IRQ_NONE;
	}

	if (!(irq_status & MDIO_AN_TX_VEND_INT_STATUS2_MASK))
		return IRQ_NONE;

	phy_trigger_machine(phydev);

	return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

So only return IRQ_HANDLED when one of the bits from INT_STATUS
corresponding with the enabled interrupts are set, not if any other link
status bit is set.

Ok, I'll send a v2 with these kind of changes.
