OK I'll drop it.

The RTL9302C is one of a series of switch chips with integrated CPUs. 
There is also the RTL9301, RTL9302B and RTL9303 (there my be others but 
those are the 4 I know about). The differences are all around the switch 
port/SERDES. The documentation uses "RTL9300" when referring to things 
common across the family. There's even an app note titled 
"RTL9300_I2C_Application_Note_V1.1(83)". So I'd really like to use 
"rtl9300" when talking about the SoC peripherals but use the specific 
chip compatible when talking about the Ethernet switch or the overall 
chip. I'm also tempted to add the other variants to my other in-flight 
patch series.

"realtek,rtl9300-i2c" also happens to be what openwrt is using, but I'm 
not sure that that helps my argument as the binding is now quite different.

Whoops missed that. Will fix.
