Hi Lee

I actually like to comply with the mfd sub device naming convention by naming it 8a3400x-phc
About the names in ptp clock driver, I will have to change them anyways down the road to
make them work with the mfd driver

Another match doesn't exist in the current tree yet. It would be a normal platform device driver that I
will submit to drivers/misc a little later after this mfd change is merged.

Thanks
