    mediatek: filogic: gl-mt2500 fix compatibles PHY variants
    
    These devices share the same "compatible" in device tree causing some
    incompatibilities (sysupgrades, ASU profile identification), assign a
    unique "compatible" and "model" to each variant.
    
    Context:
    Commit [1] added each variant's dts compatible to the SUPPORTED_DEVICES
    field of the other variant to make easy sysupgrades between these
    physically indistinguishable devices variants possible.
    
    But there were found three issues which does not allow this:
    - the sysupgrade's stricter check still used in some sysupgrade
    paths(this check is being replaced(and redundant) with the newer fwtool's
    SUPPORTED_DEVICES check using the info in images METADATA), this check
    will fail when sysupgrading from a different board_name(compatible dts)
    that the image was created for (image profile name).[2]
    - ASU needs unique "dts compatible" to identify the devices profile.
    - and an ASU's profile identification limitation when several devices from
    a common target share SUPPORTED_DEVICES entries.[3]
    
    There is a proposal for these issues but not yet implemented [4][3].
    
    Until these issues are fixed we won't allow "easy" sysupgrades between
    these two device variants.
    
    Commit [5] avoided the ASU profile identification limitation but
    missed the required two unique dts compatibles in order to make the two
    variants fully work, although not allowing easy sysupgrade between them.
