I saw the modular QCA switch in a russian patch series[0]
for ZyXel Keenetic series - those are ramips (rt305x + mt7620).

Some ramips devices have only 4M flash and seem to use very
different hardware.

I was cleaning up and trying to apply these changes to trunk [1]

But there are some issues (language barrier, no device to test myself,
image generation/incompatibilities) with my current series [2]
and the ramips platform seem to require custom inits for each different
phy that is attached (nonworking RT821x on ramips for chinese HG255D [3])
