This error is caused because the PHY in the mdio at 0 sub-bus cannot get the IRQ from the irq-meson-gpio driver,
so it may be a dependency issue causing the PHY not probing the irq-meson-gpio node.
IRQ management from PHY drivers is weird, because the core request the IRQ instead of the PHY driver.
maybe causing fw_devlink issue not detecting the link.
