Hi Conor & Andrew,

Please find my reply below by consolidating other two emails comments 
related to this.

As per Andrew's comment in another email, both LAN8650 and LAN8651 are 
two different variants but they both share almost all characteristics 
except one thing that is LAN8651 has "Single 3.3V supply with integrated 
1.8V regulator" which doesn't have anything to do with driver. That's 
why I have kept them as fallback as Conor said in this email. Hope you 
all OK with this.

OK, I will update this in the next version.
