  [Impact]
  On an APM Merlin (X-Gene2) board, the onboard 1G interface fails to 
re-establish link when the interface is brought down and back up. Juju + MAAS 
provider does this after every install (so to configure a bridge), making this 
config unusable.
  
  This was actually a regression introduced by the fix for LP: #1632739 in
  4.4.0-48.69.
  
  [Test Case]
  1) From a remote system, start a ping to the IP address of the Merlin board's 
eth0 interface.
  2) On the merlin board: sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up
  3) Ping should recover, but doesn't

+     net: phylib: fix interrupts re-enablement in phy_start
  
  [Regression Risk]
+ The fix appears to be straightforward - don't enable interrupts on a phy that 
does not have a valid interrupt. Fixes are upstream, so any regressions should 
get upstream support for fixing.
