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.


And someone could convert the driver to use the new clk-bulk APIs [0],
so the large number of clk_prepare_enable calls would be a bit
trimmed down.
