In the previous version of the w5100 driver, the LINKLED pin could be
wired to a GPIO to detect the link status changes via an interrupt.
This only works on w5500 as it is the only one documenting its LINKLED
pin to hold the link status (on w5100 the LINKLED pin is changing with
RX/TX activity).

This series of patches is bringing back the link status detection on
w5500 using the Link Status bit of the PHY Configuration Register.
Additionally, the LINKLED pin can also be wired to detect link status
changes and read the register in the interrupt handler.

Changes in v4:
- Use directly an interrupt line instead of gpio -> irq
- Update interrupts in DT bindings
- Address sashiko reviews
 - drop devm_ on request_threaded_irq to avoid use after free
 - disable/enable the link_irq in the suspend/resume
 - only call netif_carrier_on|off if the link interrupt is present
- Link to v3:

Hi Arthur,

This version looks good to me,

Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Krzystof said that he preferred these to be described as GPIOs
instead, but I think there were some other open questions with
your previous version. If you can come up with a version that
Krzystof likes better, I'm fine with that as well.
No, interrupts are fine.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
