Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the review.

The "special tag" is just vendor naming. Will update the patches to
consistently refer to it as the MT7628 tag in v2.

Will fix in v2.

The PHY init was inherited from OpenWRT, I am yet to figure out the
specifics of what this is doing. I will investigate further and rework
this into a proper PHY driver for v2.
