Yes, both is correct.

I thought about doing that as well, however, note that you will have to
move all the reset and regulator setup procedure to mt7530_probe() as
well then, as PLL setup currently happens after that, and that's
probably for a reason.

As the reset and regulator setup works differently on MT7530 and
MT7531, and depending on whether it's a standalone IC package or MCM, I
believe changes unifying this will have to be tested on a lot of
boards...

Yes, I'd appreciate that and I'm ready to test and review once you post
your updated series.
