I am using a GMAC4 reference design to test the patches. The clock configuration
as is, does not work, resulting in the phy discovery failure. By applying this
patch I am able to set the clock value properly.

I am going to check in the Databook of GMAC4 and older versions in order to
justify better.

Thanks.
