The current bcm63xx_enet driver doesn't asign the internal phy IRQ. As a result of this it works in polling mode.
Fix it using the phy_device structure to assign the platform IRQ. Tested under a BCM6348 board. Kernel dmesg before the patch: Broadcom BCM63XX (1) bcm63xx_enet-0:01: attached PHY driver [Broadcom BCM63XX (1)] (mii_bus:phy_addr=bcm63xx_enet-0:01, irq=POLL) After the patch: Broadcom BCM63XX (1) bcm63xx_enet-0:01: attached PHY driver [Broadcom BCM63XX (1)] (mii_bus:phy_addr=bcm63xx_enet-0:01, irq=17) Pluging and uplugging the ethernet cable now generates interrupts and the PHY goes up and down as expected.
