And looking a bit further down in the code:

static int dp83640_ack_interrupt(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
        int err = phy_read(phydev, MII_DP83640_MISR);

        if (err < 0)
                return err;

        return 0;
}

static int dp83640_config_intr(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
        int micr;
        int misr;
        int err;

        if (phydev->interrupts == PHY_INTERRUPT_ENABLED) {
                err = dp83640_ack_interrupt(phydev);
                if (err)
                        return err;

So a positive value is going to break the driver.

NACK
