I am agree with that.
Andes got this ftmac100 ip from faraday and we refined it.
We rename it to atmac100 to provide to our customer.
These 2 mac100 are using different hardware RTL code but they are
software compatible.

Most of the IPs in Andes SoC are named as atXXX in its dts.
I suggest using this string "andestech,atmac100".
