I mean which name is more precise, do these gpio enable/standy a "phy"
or a "transceiver". For example:
http://www.nxp.com/documents/application_note/AN00094.pdf, this document
says: TJA1041/1041A high speed CAN transceiver.

Isn't term "phy" (physical interface) generally meant to be the same
thing as "transceiver"?  I just happened to like the shorter one as
what Hui did in his patch.

But it does not really matter to me, will change the name since you
care about it.

A transceiver is just a dumb piece of hardware, while a PHY contains
some intelligence of its own.
