I assume "xceiver" is the shorter name for "transceiver"?
In that case, I suggest changing the devicetree label to "transceiver".
It would become a mess if different drivers use different names.
I see no real benefit for naming it "xceiver". "trx" is even shorter :-)

The internals, like variable names, do not really matter here.

I haven't looked at other driver, yet the argument still stands.

Kind regards,
Kurt
