Distinguish mediatek drivers

Hi Krzysztof,

That's really a good idea, yes, we can combine both drivers into a
single one. 

But the real problem is that the old driver has been used to a lot of
platforms and it works stable for now. When we combine these drivers,
we will have a very huge effort to adjust the driver style and test it
in all platforms.

We will check the possibilities but it may take more time to finish the
work.

Thanks.
