Exactly. The clock needs to be enabled prior to stmmac_dvr_probe.
Otherwise, stmmac_mdio_register will fail to find a usable PHY.

The DWMAC core I am working with does not support chip ID or
HW capability flags. I suspect those would fail, too.

Disabling the clock at the end of stmmac_dvr_probe is to make
sure it plays nice with existing power management callbacks.
