Ok, one question though: There is a clock output, but it just supports 
four frequencies. Should there be a property like 
"atheros,clk-out-frequency = <25000000>" which can take an arbitrary 
number or should it be something like "atheros,clk-out-frequency = 
<AT803X_CLK_OUT_25_MHZ>" (the ti dp83867 uses the latter).
