The patch currently merged is preparation patch, subsequent patch will replace all the chip_id in ravb_main with hardware features and driver features. After that both priv->chip_id and info_chipid is not required for ravb_main.c However ptp driver[1] still uses it, by adding a feature bit we can replace that as well. So going forward, there won't be any priv->chip_id or info->chip_id. Does it makes sense?
