The phy driver is new, not in a released kernel. So we can still rename it without causing problems. I still want to understand the naming here. If you look at most Ethernet switches with integrated PHYs, the PHYs have their own naming scheme, separate from the switch, because they are independent IP. So i would prefer this driver by named after the PHY name, not the switch name. That might solve the naming conflict, mt123x for the PHY, mt7530 for the switch driver. Andrew
