Thanks, that makes sense - will do so. Looking now at chip_ids there's
(for me) some confusion regarding KSZ8830 mentions such as
KSZ8830_CHIP_ID which actually refers to the KSZ8863/73 switches.
Often, such as in ksz_is_ksz88x3, the KSZ88X3 naming is also used for
exactly these switches which is more intuitive but it doesn't help to
have two names for the same thing. Do you agree to remove KSZ8830
terms  in favor of KSZ88X3 as part of this patch series (will split)?

PS as far as I can see the KSZ8830 switch itself doesn't exist.

Added Oleksij and Tristram to Cc.

Cheers, Pieter
