OK, thanks for testing.
As it is now, rtl_phy_poll_quirk() would always return false because ASPM
is disabled on driver load. Changing ASPM settings can be done later via sysfs
if supported by device and upstream bridge. In addition:
- If you want to return a bool, declare the return value as bool.
- You shouldn't have to disable the LinkChg interrupt. The interrupt just triggers
a phylib state machine run what may result in a faster link-up signal even
when using polling.

By the way: All Realtek vendor drivers (r8101, r8168, r8125) don't use the LinkChg
interrupt. However I don't think this is because of known hw issues, more likely
it's because they don't use phylib and thought polling is the easier approach.
At least for r8169 I haven't heard yet of any complain regarding the LinkChg
interrupt.
