>Please validate that what you find on the board actually is what the compatible says it should be. If you don't validate it, there will be some DT blobs that have the wrong value, but probe fine. But then you cannot actually make use of the compatible string in the driver to do something different between the 9303 and the 9354 because some boards have the wrong compatible....

At this time, the driver is meant to support both devices equally.  In the future, I will be adding content that only applies to the LAN9354.  That is when I'm planning to add .data to the .compatible entries.
