I don't see that new clock documented in the dt-binding.
Also, which clock from the clock-controller does this connect to?

The clock is the "SCLK_GMAC_RMII" at the clock-controller, which could
be set rate by the link speed.

Hmm, while these huge number of clocks are somewhat strange,
shouldn't it be named something with _rmii instead of _speed then?

Okay, it is better to be named _speed.


Also, I don't see any clk_enable action for that new clock, so you could
end up with being off?

The new speed is the parent of the clk_tx_rx, to enable/disable
clk_tx_rx, the new clock would be also enabled/disabled.

Still it is nicer to really enable it, so that the clock-framework can keep
track of usage counts.

Because also no-one hinders the chip-designer from putting a gate in
between in one of the next socs ;-)


Okay, i will add the enable/disable for clk_mac_speed.
;-)
