ethernet-phy-id03a2.a411 is Airoha EN8811H (air_en8811h driver). Handle
interrupt there seems to just be a general interrupt clear followed by a
`phy_trigger_machine`. It doesn't seem to read specific interrupt status.
Testing with IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW does seem to work as expected and results in
detecting 4 interrupts rather then just 1 with edges when enabling the
interface. However I'm not sure what can be concluded from that if anything :)..
I can stick a scope on the line in the coming days to see how the interrupt line
behaves if interrupts aren't cleared, which may clarify things.
