Hi Bryan,

The MII speed is calculated twice with this patch applied, one time
in fec_enet_mii_init and one time in fec_enet_init.

The patch didn't work for me because the calculation is wrong (which of
course is not your fault, it was wrong before).
According to the Datasheet the MII clock is clk_get_rate() / (MII * 2).
When we want to have a clock of 2.5MHz we have to do:

clk_get_rate() / 5000000

With rounding this would be:

(clk_get_rate() + 4999999) / 5000000

So you might want to add the following to your patch:

	fep->phy_speed = ((clk_get_rate(fep->clk) + 4999999) / 5000000) << 1;

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.

Sascha
