Hi Luo

We don't rename files unless there is a very good reason. It makes
back porting of fixes harder in stable. There are plenty of examples
of files with device specific names, but supporting a broad range of
devices. Take for example lm75, at24.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for the comments, will update the patch set to keep the name unchanged.

+config MDIO_IPQ

-	  IPQ40xx series Soc-s.
+	  IPQ40xx, IPQ60XX, IPQ807X and IPQ50XX series Soc-s.

Please leave the MDIO_IPQ4019 unchanged, so we don't break backwards
compatibility, but the changes to the text are O.K.

will correct it in the next patch set.

This sort of mass rename will also make back porting fixes
harder. Please don't do it.

will keep it unchanged in the next patch set.

Such a generic name is not a good idea. It appears this driver is not
compatible with the IPQ8064? It is O.K. to add more specific
compatibles. So you could add

qcom,ipq40xx, qcom,ipq60xx, qcom,ipq807x and qcom,ipq50xx.

But really, there is no need. Take for example snps,dwmac-mdio, which
is used in all sorts of devices.

Hi Andrew, yes, this driver is not compatible with IPQ8064, but it is compatible with the new chipset such as ipq807x, ipq60xx and ipq50xx, will take your suggestion in
the next patch set, thanks for the comments.
