I'm not sure this is the correct fix. I think the original patch might
be broken. Look at the commit message wording:

The patch adds a new
capability so that macb_set_tx_clock() to not be called for IPs having
this capability

So MACB_CAPS_CLK_HW_CHG disables something, not enables it. So i
suspect this if statement is wrong and needs fixing.
