Does "hisilicon,mdio" actually have a specific meaning? Is that just there
for legacy reasons?

hi Arnd,
"hisilicon,mdio" is the gernerical configuation compatible for the default hisilicon chip,
We use generic hisilicon since our MDIO/PHY is same across flavour of SoCs.

Hi Arnd,
Yes, "hisilicon,mdio" exists for the legacy reasons to support older SoC Hip04.
