I agree that these macros have been missed. But lets take the change 
suggested as a separate patch,
as this would then be integrated along with the driver.
The driver by default is considering the 2.5MHz MDIO clock option only. 
In this case we require an extra
variable to differentiate specification which is higher than IEEE spec 
of 2.5MHz.

Ok
