Currently the maxio Ethernet PHY driver expects a PHY matching exactly the
one ID provided: 0x7b744412. The Maxio MAE0621A-Q3C model used on
the Allwinner based X96QPro+ TV box uses a slightly different PHY ID:
0x7b744411.

Replace the "exact match" requirement with the more relaxed "model
match" version, which ignores the lowest 4 bits of the PHY ID. Both
PHYs should now be recognised by the driver.
Is there any documentation to suggest this is different versions of
the same PHY? The datasheet sometimes document the lower nibble as
being version.
