<content type='text'>
With lan88xx based devices the lan78xx driver can get stuck in an
interrupt loop while bringing the device up, flooding the kernel log
with messages like the following:

lan78xx 2-3:1.0 enp1s0u3: kevent 4 may have been dropped

Removing interrupt support from the lan88xx PHY driver forces the
driver to use polling instead, which avoids the problem.

The issue has been observed with Raspberry Pi devices at least since
4.14 (see [1], bug report for their downstream kernel), as well as
with Nvidia devices [2] in 2020, where disabling interrupts was the
vendor-suggested workaround (together with the claim that phylib
changes in 4.9 made the interrupt handling in lan78xx incompatible).

Iperf reports well over 900Mbits/sec per direction with client in
--dualtest mode, so there does not seem to be a significant impact on
throughput (lan88xx device connected via switch to the peer).

<content type='text'>
Fix outdated MII_LPA data in the LAN88xx PHY, which is used in LAN7800
and LAN7850 USB Ethernet controllers. Due to a hardware limitation, the
PHY cannot reliably update link status after parallel detection when the
link partner does not support auto-negotiation. To mitigate this, add a
PHY reset in `lan88xx_link_change_notify()` when `phydev-&gt;state` is
`PHY_NOLINK`, ensuring the PHY starts in a clean state and reports
accurate fixed link parallel detection results.

<title>net: lan78xx: fix accessing the LAN7800's internal phy specific registers from the MAC driver</title>

Move the LAN7800 internal phy (phy ID  0x0007c132) specific register
accesses to the phy driver (microchip.c).

Fix the error reported by Enguerrand de Ribaucourt in December 2022,
"Some operations during the cable switch workaround modify the register
LAN88XX_INT_MASK of the PHY. However, this register is specific to the
LAN8835 PHY. For instance, if a DP8322I PHY is connected to the LAN7801,
that register (0x19), corresponds to the LED and MAC address
configuration, resulting in unapropriate behavior."

I did not test with the DP8322I PHY, but I tested with an EVB-LAN7800
with the internal PHY.

In preparation of removing the .ack_interrupt() callback, we must replace
its occurrences (aka phy_clear_interrupt), from the 2 places where it is
called from (phy_enable_interrupts and phy_disable_interrupts), with
equivalent functionality.

This means that clearing interrupts now becomes something that the PHY
driver is responsible of doing, before enabling interrupts and after
clearing them. Make this driver follow the new contract.

In an attempt to actually support shared IRQs in phylib, we now move the
responsibility of triggering the phylib state machine or just returning
IRQ_NONE, based on the IRQ status register, to the PHY driver. Having
3 different IRQ handling callbacks (.handle_interrupt(),
.did_interrupt() and .ack_interrupt() ) is confusing so let the PHY
driver implement directly an IRQ handler like any other device driver.
Make this driver follow the new convention.

<content type='text'>
Supported PHY features are either auto-detected or explicitly set.
In both cases calling genphy_config_init isn't needed. All that
genphy_config_init does is removing features that are set as
supported but can't be auto-detected. Basically it duplicates the
code in genphy_read_abilities. Therefore remove such calls from
all PHY drivers.

v2:
- remove call also from new adin PHY driver
v3:
- pass NULL as config_init function pointer for dp83848

Supported PHY features are either auto-detected or explicitly set.
In both cases calling genphy_config_init isn't needed. All that
genphy_config_init does is removing features that are set as
supported but can't be auto-detected. Basically it duplicates the
code in genphy_read_abilities. Therefore remove such calls from
all PHY drivers.

v2:
- remove call also from new adin PHY driver
v3:
- pass NULL as config_init function pointer for dp83848
