Hi Russell

We already know from previous patches that the Intel hardware is
broken, and does not actually deliver the interrupt which caused the
wake up. So i assume this just continues on with the same broken
hardware, but they have a different PHY connected.

Agreed. If the interrupt register is being used, i think we need this
patchset to add proper interrupt support. Can you recommend a board
they can buy off the shelf with the interrupt wired up? Or maybe Intel
can find a hardware engineer to add a patch wire to link the interrupt
output to a SoC pin that can do interrupts.
