Hi Stephen,
For mac0 and mac5 RCG clock, it is true with divider 1, since these two 
MACs are connected with CPU port, which is always the fix link speed, 
the clock rate is always 312.5M or 125M, in this case with multiple 
parent clocks and divider 1, it seems there is no special RCG clock ops 
for it currently, so we leverage the clock ops clk_rcg2_ops.

For other MACs(1-4), which are connected with physical port, the link 
speed is dynamically changed, and the divider is different for the 
different link speed, such as the mac1 clock freq table as below.

static const struct freq_tbl ftbl_nss_cc_mac1_tx_clk_src[] = { 

        F(25000000, P_UNIPHY1_TX312P5M, 12.5, 0, 0), 

        F(25000000, P_UNIPHY1_RX312P5M, 12.5, 0, 0), 

        F(50000000, P_XO, 1, 0, 0), 

        F(125000000, P_UNIPHY1_TX312P5M, 2.5, 0, 0), 

        F(125000000, P_UNIPHY1_RX312P5M, 2.5, 0, 0), 

        F(312500000, P_UNIPHY1_TX312P5M, 1, 0, 0), 

        F(312500000, P_UNIPHY1_RX312P5M, 1, 0, 0), 

        { } 

};

Thanks,
Jie.
