Hi Robert

>From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/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.

You have to use that definition for clock-frequency. It means the MDIO
bus frequency. It would be good if you can get an oscilloscope onto
the bus and measure it. Otherwise, we have to assume the divider is
40, in order to give a standards compliment 2.5MHz. You can then work
out what value to pass to the clk_ API to get the correct input clock
frequency for the MDIO block.
