Thanks for the patch. In this case it is the intended behaviour I
think, because if_type_to_uclass_id() gives us the uclass to use, and
we check that immediately below your patch. Since there is a 1:1
correspondence between if_type and uclass_id (apart from those we want
to remove) we don't need to check both.

Yes it would be nice to remove if_type one day.

Simon
