Ok, didn't notice that.

Ok, if the parts are not pin-compatible I guess the range of potential
issues to deal with may be lower. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a
strong opinion. I'm fine if you ignore this comment and keep the
specific compatibles, I think this is what the Open Firmware document
recommends anyway.

Yes, if you can get rid of it, that works.
Generally when somebody says "reverse xmas tree" and it's obvious that
there are data dependencies between variables, what they mean to request
is:
struct xrs700x_port *p = &dev->ports[port];
size_t mib_size;
mib_size = sizeof(*p->mib_data) * ARRAY_SIZE(xrs700x_mibs);

Funny that you are complaining about consistency in other drivers,
because if I count correctly, out of a total of 22 occurrences of
struct xrs700x variables in yours, 13 are named priv and 9 are named
dev. So you are not even consistent with yourself. But it's not a major
issue either way.
