Pretty busy patch, and after reading it, I'm not sure:

- why? (this seems to be absent from the commit message)
- how are MT7531AE and MT7531BE supported any more properly after this
  change, as the commit title claims
- what is the overall effect, other than just refactoring. If that's
  all, what's written on the tin needs to be a better representation of
  what's inside.

Pure refactoring is not a bad goal in itself, as long as we're on the
same page that there is a justification which makes the new code better
than the old one.
