ROCKCHIP_ETH_PHY or so? I follow you reasoning, but generic phy is the new kid on the block. It is well established that Ethernet PHYs are called _PHY. If you do want to consider generic phy, the logical name would be ROCKCHIP_PHY_PHY, since generic phy postfixes with _SATA, _USB, _PCIE, etc. But that does leave an issues when we have an Ethernet PHY which needs a generic PHY. In some sense, SERDES could be considered as something supported by a generic PHY...
