I did not say there was a generic method. I just said copy one. We
have too many different ways of doing the same thing, so we should not
add another one. Which of these is closest to what you want? You
should use your own vendor part, but copy clk-output-sel, rmii-ref,
etc, and implement the same behaviour in your driver.
