The MAC and PHY interrupt are not synchronized. When multiple phy
interrupt occur while the MAC interrupt is cleared, the phy handle
will not be called which causes the PHY interrupt to remain set
throughout. This is avoided by not clearing the MAC interrupt each
time. When the PHY interrupt is set, the MAC calls the PHY handle
and after processing the timestamp the PHY interrupt is cleared.
Also, avoided repetitive debug messages by replacing netdev_err
with netif_dbg.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.11 and therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after July 29th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
