net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Poll when no interrupt defined
Not all boards have the interrupt output from the switch connected to a GPIO line. In such cases, phylib has to poll the internal PHYs, rather than receive an interrupt when there is a change in the link state. phylib polls once per second, and per PHY reads around 4 words. With a switch typically having 4 internal PHYs, this means 16 MDIO transactions per second. Rather than performing this phylib level polling, have the driver poll the interrupt status register. If the status register indicates an interrupt condition processing of interrupts in the same way as if a GPIO was used. Polling 10 times a second places less load on the MDIO bus. But rather than taking on average 0.5s to detect a link change, it takes less than 0.05s. Additionally, other interrupts, such as the watchdog, ATU and VTU violations will be reported.
