AFAIR one should be calling clk_prepare_enable() before clk_set_rate(), 
which neither smsc.c nor micrel.c do.

If we insist on moving this code to the PHY library which I have no 
strong objections against, we might provide a PHY_REQUIRES_REFCLK flag 
that the generic code can key off, or in the same of bcm7xx.c: 
PHY_LET_ME_MANAGED_MY_CLOCK?
