That's not what I was referring to. Previously, phy_speed was always
even because of the shift.
The MX53 manual says this field starts at bit 1, and bit 0 is unused.
Therefore, maybe the
correct change would be
fep->phy_speed = DIV_ROUND_UP(clk_get_rate(fep->clk), 2500000)<< 1;
So, the question is, does this field start at bit 0 (your version is correct)
or bit 1? In other words, how did the hardware manual get it wrong? Wrong starting
bit, or divide by 2 not needed. Please document the mistake in the code.

I have not tested yet, but will sometime this week.
