Hi Martin,

thank you for the quick response!

Ok, with that patch applied I got:

xtal                               1            1    24000000          0 0
 sys_pll                           0            0  1200000000          0 0
  cpu_clk                          0            0  1200000000          0 0
 vid_pll                           0            0   732000000          0 0
 fixed_pll                         2            2  2550000000          0 0
  mpll2                            1            1   124999851          0 0
   c9410000.ethernet#m250_sel      1            1   124999851          0 0
    c9410000.ethernet#m250_div     1            1   124999851          0 0
     c9410000.ethernet#m25_div     1            1    24999971          0 0

which is equal to your result. However, the ethernet is still not working.
The prg0 register is set to 0x70A1.

A problem that I see with this solution is that MPLL2 is set to ~125 MHz.
The S805 SoC manual reports that bits 9-7 should contain a value x such
that: MPLL2 = 250 MHz * x (with x >= 1).
In our case, bits 9-7 are set to 1 which is incorrect.
I think that MPLL2 should be 250 MHz at least.
