net: phy: Use interrupts when available in NOLINK state

lunn · davem330 · commit 321beec5047a · 2015-11-17T15:25:44.000-05:00
The NOLINK state will poll the phy once a second to see if the link
has come up. If the phy has an interrupt line, this polling can be
skipped, since the phy should interrupt when the link returns.
