Hi Marc
The interrupts are generally used. Since this is an Ethernet switch,
generally the port is administratively up, even if there is no cable
plugged in. Once/if a cable is plugged in and there is a link peer,
the PHY will interrupt to indicate this.
The only real case i can think of when the interrupts are not used is
when the switch has more ports than connected to the front panel. This
can happen in industrial settings, but not SOHO. Those ports which
don't go anywhere are never configured up and so the interrupt is
never used.
