I was going to send a mail to netdev mailing list to ask for opinions 
whether we should rename the mt7530 DSA driver to mt753x and rename 
these functions you mentioned to mt753x so it's crystal clear what code 
is for what hardware. Now that we glossed over it here, I guess I can 
ask it here instead.

Sounds good, cheers.
