I'd just like to avoid the term "shared interrupt", because it has a well-defined meaning. Our major concern isn't shared interrupts but support for multiple interrupt sources (in addition to link change) in a PHY.
You may be a little bit confused Heiner. This series adds support for exactly _that_ meaning of shared interrupts. Shared interrupts (aka wired-OR on the PCB) don't work today with the PHY library. I have a board that won't even boot to prompt when the interrupt lines of its 2 PHYs are enabled, that this series fixes. You might need to take another look through the commit messages I'm afraid.
