Hi Piyush

There is an ambiguity here in the English. It could be interpreted
that 2.5MHz is the standard for Marvell Octeon family. When in fact
802.3 c22 says it should be up to 2.5MHz.

For Marvell Octeon family it defaults to 3.125 MHz and not to
the 802.3 standard 2.5 MHz.

Hi Rob

Yes, this property is in mdio.yaml:

clock-frequency:
description:
Desired MDIO bus clock frequency in Hz. Values greater than IEEE 802.3
defined 2.5MHz should only be used when all devices on the bus support
the given clock speed.

However, for some reason, this driver decides to break the standard
and defaults to 3.125MHz not 2.5MHz. So i would like that clearly
documented in the binding.
