I've seen some parts of the MTMIPS platform use mediatek compatible 
strings thanks to Krzysztof pointing them out. I don't like having some 
parts of the MTMIPS platform (pci, mmc, usbphy, etc.) with mediatek 
compatible string while others are ralink.

Like Krzysztof said [0], Ralink is now Mediatek, thus there is no 
conflict and no issues with different vendor used. So I'd rather keep 
new things Ralink and gradually change these mediatek strings to ralink.
