RT3052 is the name of the whole WiSoC chip, not just the MAC or RF part
of it. Since wifi is integrated in the SoC, I don't think there is a
separate name for just the wifi part.

Yes, but rt2x00_is_soc() is not enough, since RT2880 is also SoC, but
slightly different compared to RT3052. I've only tested RT3052 myself.
