Not sure I understand here, the 'clock-frequency' is supposed to denote
the MDIO bus output clock frequency, that is the frequency at which all
MDIO devices are going to operate at. Is this 100MHz a clock that feeds
into the MDIO block and get internally divided by a programmable
register to obtain an output MDIO clock?
