Hi,
In the previous version of the w5100 driver, the LINKLED pin could be
wired to a GPIO to detect the link status changes via an interrupt.
This only works on w5500 as it is the only one documenting its LINKLED
pin to hold the link status (on w5100 the LINKLED pin is changing with
RX/TX activity).
This series of patches is bringing back the link status detection on
w5500 using the Link Status bit of the PHY Configuration Register.
Additionally, the LINKLED pin can also be wired to detect link status
changes and read the register in the interrupt handler.

Changes in v5:
- Remove gpio/gpio.h include from DT example
- Make the DT interrupts property dynamic from the compatible one
- Fix DT bindings errors
- Read the link status register only on w5500 instead of checking link_irq
- Address sashiko review
- call netif_carrier_off on w5500 link status off in open
- enable/disable the link irq in open/stop
- enable/disable the link irq in resume/suspend
- handle link irq probe defer error
- register the netdev last
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260811-wiznet-link-gpio-v4-0-4d5f7da885a8@marmottus.net
Changes in v4:
- Use directly an interrupt line instead of gpio -> irq
- Update interrupts in DT bindings
- Address sashiko reviews
- drop devm_ on request_threaded_irq to avoid use after free
- disable/enable the link_irq in the suspend/resume
- only call netif_carrier_on|off if the link interrupt is present
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260806-wiznet-link-gpio-v3-0-532d4a143805@marmottus.net
Changes in v3:
- Change cover letter
