Really? That breaks IEEE 802.3, which requires 2.5MHz. Humm, says it
multiple times in the datasheet. Seems like a language lawyer was
involved in the data sheet.

  The DP83TD510E is an ultra-low power Ethernet
  physical layer transceiver compliant with the IEEE
  802.3cg 10Base-T1L specification

I would not be surprised to find that 802.3cg says nothing about MDC,
that is in the base 802.3 standard, which they don't say they are
compliant to.

At least there is a simple workaround, even if it is much slower than
what you really need.
