Hi Dmitry,
Sure, we can take this approach if fine by Andrew as well.

Hi Christian,
In my version, the divisor is programmed in every MDIO operation and 
hence I did not add the code to revert to configured value in reset 
function. But sure. we can program it once during the probe/reset and 
avoid doing it during read/write ops.

In addition, the MDIO divisor 1, 2 and 4 are not supported by the MDIO
hardware block, maybe we can remove these macros to avoid confusion, or 
add a comment mentioning that these are not supported.
