I understand. I mentioned that's it strange to use mpll2 because:
- On gxbb (and following SoCs), There is 2 clockin sources to the mac: FDIV2 and
MPLL2. There is , of course, an mux in the ethernet device to select the clock
you need/want.
- I would not be surprised if it was the same thing on meson8(b). In such case,
I think it is better to use FDIV2.

Indeed.
I would prefer that you fix the ethernet driver rather than adding this to the
clock driver.
