Are these really all needed? Apparently there is a standard 'max-speed' property on Ethernet devices already, which I think is probably sufficient to express the actual restrictions of some boards.

Although the standard calls this 'manual', if it's set in the DT it won't really be a manual setting. The description should probably clarify that.
I think the name should include 'master-slave' or 'clock-role' rather than just 'master', as currently it suggests only the master role can be forced.
