It was intentionally made callable from the interrupt context, I'd
prefer
if you wouldn't change that.
OTOH, it's still not very handy to call because of the 'new_link'
parameter which I'm not sure I can provide...
Hi Sergei
If there is a need for it, i will leave the work queue and keep this
code unchanged.
Let's hear what Florian says...
The intent is really to have phy_mac_interrupt() callable from hard IRQ
context, not that this matters really too much because link events
already occur in the slow path, but it's nice to have that property
retained IMHO.
Actually, I still don't know how to call phy_mac_interrupt() from the ravb
driver because of the 'new_link' parameter -- I won't always have that signal
connected to the MAC...
