Hi Vivien

I mean

+ /* Switch Software Reset */
+ int (*g1_reset)(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip);
+

We have a collection of function pointers with port_ prefix, another
collection with stats_, and a third with ppu_, etc. And then we have
some which do not fit a specific category. Those i have prefixed with
g1_ or g2_. I think we should have some prefix, and that is my
suggestion.
