It is the micrel PHY KSZ9031 so it is an active low level interrupt.
Here, IRQ_TYPE_EDGE* macros are mainly used to decide whether to write the
YU_GPIO_CAUSE_FALL_EN register vs the YU_GPIO_CAUSE_RISE_EN register.
These 2 registers are used in both LEVEL/EDGE interrupts.
So I will add back the IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW and IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH as I
did before to configure YU_GPIO_CAUSE_FALL_EN and
YU_GPIO_CAUSE_HIGH_EN respectively. The PHY interrupt signal is physically
Connected to an open drain GPIO pin so software only needs to set
YU_GPIO_CAUSE_FALL_EN register in this case.

Thanks.
