SGMII at 2500Mbps does not exist. Lots of people get this wrong. It
will be 2500Base-X.

Does the clock need to change in order to support 2500Base-X? If i
understand you correctly, Linux does not control the clocks, and so
cannot change the clocks? So that probably means you cannot actually
support 2500Base-X? Once you have Linux actually controlling the
hardware, you can then make use of an SFP or a copper PHY which
supports 2.5G. The PHY will swap its host side between SGMII and
2500Base-X depending on what the line side negotiates, 1000Base-T or
2500Base-T. The MAC driver then needs to change its configuration to
suite.
