Well, it already exists. modern i.MX platforms use stmmac, and some
bright spark wired lpi_intr_o together with the main stmmac interrupt
which causes interrupt storms when the receive path exits LPI. This
makes stmmac LPI unusable on this platform.

So, if i.MX is paired with a PHY that can do its own EEE, then we
have this exact scenaro.
