A nit pick, but MAX_MDIO_FREQ is not actually the max. The max would
be clk_div = 0. You can run the MDIO bus faster than 2.5MHz, if you
know all the devices on the bus actually support faster speeds. I've
run it at 6Mhz with Marvell Ethernet switches and PHYs.

DEFAULT_MDIO_FREQ would be better.

s/2.5 MHz/the requested frequency/
