The vendor took the upstream driver at a point a year or two in the
past then did whatever they want with it.
They made no effort to "merge" in changes made to the upstream driver
during this time, so there is serious divergence especially in the PHY
handling which is probably where all the problems are in the upstream
driver.
Even the table of device IDs for probing is orderred and arranged
differently.
