Link status of SMSC LAN95xx chips is polled once per second, even though they're capable of signaling PHY interrupts through the MAC layer. Forward those interrupts to the PHY driver to avoid polling. Benefits are reduced bus traffic, reduced CPU overhead and quicker interface bringup. Polling was introduced in 2016 by commit d69d1694 ("usbnet: smsc95xx: fix link detection for disabled autonegotiation"). Back then, the LAN95xx driver neglected to enable the ENERGYON interrupt, hence couldn't detect link-up events when auto-negotiation was disabled. The proper solution would have been to enable the ENERGYON interrupt instead of polling. Since then, PHY handling was moved from the LAN95xx driver to the SMSC PHY driver with commit 05b35e7e ("smsc95xx: add phylib support"). That PHY driver is capable of link detection with auto-negotiation disabled because it enables the ENERGYON interrupt. Note that signaling interrupts through the MAC layer not only works with the integrated PHY, but also with an external PHY, provided its interrupt pin is attached to LAN95xx's nPHY_INT pin. In the unlikely event that the interrupt pin of an external PHY is attached to a GPIO of the SoC (or not connected at all), the driver can be amended to retrieve the irq from the PHY's of_node. To forward PHY interrupts to phylib, it is not sufficient to call phy_mac_interrupt(). Instead, the PHY's interrupt handler needs to run so that PHY interrupts are cleared. That's because according to page 119 of the LAN950x datasheet, "The source of this interrupt is a level. The interrupt persists until it is cleared in the PHY." https://www.microchip.com/content/dam/mchp/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/LAN950x-Data-Sheet-DS00001875D.pdf Therefore, create an IRQ domain with a single IRQ for the PHY. In the future, the IRQ domain may be extended to support the 11 GPIOs on the LAN95xx. Normally the PHY interrupt should be masked until the PHY driver has cleared it. However masking requires a (sleeping) USB transaction and interrupts are received in (non-sleepable) softirq context. I decided not to mask the interrupt at all (by using the dummy_irq_chip's noop ->irq_mask() callback): The USB interrupt endpoint is polled in 1 msec intervals and normally that's sufficient to wake the PHY driver's IRQ thread and have it clear the interrupt. If it does take longer, worst thing that can happen is the IRQ thread is woken again. No big deal. Because PHY interrupts are now perpetually enabled, there's no need to selectively enable them on suspend. So remove all invocations of smsc95xx_enable_phy_wakeup_interrupts(). In smsc95xx_resume(), move the call of phy_init_hw() before usbnet_resume() (which restarts the status URB) to ensure that the PHY is fully initialized when an interrupt is handled.
