Ans: They are the same IP, but there are the following differences:

1. phy8824 only supports usxgmii_multiport mode.

     yt922x has 4utp+2serdes. These two serdes support more modes,

     such as usxgmii_singleport, bx1000, sgmii, etc., which results in more

     initialization configurations for the switch serdes.

2. Another point that I think is difficult to integrate is that the phyID

     of the switch serdes (defined in USXGMII reg space mii 0x2, 0x3) is

     inconsistent with the phyID of phy8824 (defined in UTP reg space 
mii 0x2, 0x3),

     so phy8824 cannot be matched, and therefore two sets of initialization

    configurations are required.
