That's because free_irq() does not disable the interrupt in the correct
manner. The scenario is more or less like this:
phy_interrupt() [depth == 0]
disable_irq()
depth++; status |= IRQ_DISABLED;
...
free_irq() [depth == 1]
status |= IRQ_DISABLED;
...
phy_change() [depth == 1]
enable_irq()
depth--; status &= ~IRQ_DISABLED;
oops!
Now if free_irq() correctly incremented the depth counter, then the last
enable_irq() would still decrement it, but with its initial value of 2 it
would not change the status to reenable the line.
