IRQF_ONESHOT | IRQF_SHARED does work.
However, it requires all uses of the interrupt use the same flags.
The commit messages suggests IRQF_SHARED is there because of boards
which have multiple PHYs using one IRQ. That case will work, since all
PHYs will be using this code.
What will be an issue is if the sharing is between a PHY and something
else. That something else will also need to use IRQF_ONESHOT. Anybody
know if this situation actually exists?
Thanks
