The vendor sources where this is coming from are here:

https://git01.mediatek.com/plugins/gitiles/openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds/+/a500d94cd47e279015ce22947e1ce396a7516598%5E%21/#F0

And I'm afraid this is as much detail as it gets. And yes, we could
also base this on the compatible and just have two different ones for
the two PEXTP instances found in MT7988.
Let me know your conclusion in that regard.


Cheers


Daniel
