Re: [PATCH] net: phy: fix doc for rgii_clock()

From: Maud Spierings <maudspierings@gocontroll.com>

The doc states that the clock values also apply to the rmii mode,
"as the clock rates are identical". But as far as I can find the
clock rate for rmii is 50M at both 10 and 100 mbits/s [1].

This patch is also part question, I am working on an imx8mp based device
with the dwmac-imx driver. In imx_dwmac_set_clk_tx_rate() and
imx_dwmac_fix_speed() both rmii and mii are excluded from setting the
clock rate with this function.

But from what I can read only rmii should be excluded, I am not very
knowledgable with regards to networkinging stuff so my info is
coming from wikipedia.

I am adding this exclusion to the barebox bootloader, but I am not sure
if I should also be excluding mii as is being done upstream.
