When you start looking at the duplicated parsing of vendor-specific OF
properties like "realtek,disable-leds", I am starting to question that.
There are also differences in the handling of the user_mii_bus, which
stem from the duplicate implementations, which are hard to justify if
you are saying that the only difference is that the switch is controlled
through a different interface and it is otherwise the same.
