ok, will wait for a decision before resending. I a am not in a hurry.

Well, no innovation here: to be honest - it's not a valid argument but -
I copy pasted the line from other armada-xp-*.dts files:

$ grep 250000000 armada-xp-*.dts
armada-xp-axpwifiap.dts:                                clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-axpwifiap.dts:                                clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-db.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-db.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-db.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-db.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-gp.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-gp.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-gp.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-gp.dts:                               clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4.dts:                         clock-frequency = <250000000>;
armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4.dts:                         clock-frequency = <250000000>;

I will use <&coreclk 0> in next resend.

Looking at the PCB, 88E1318-NNB2. I will dig into Documentation/ the
associated compatible. Out of curiosity, how do you get the PHY model
from u-boot or userland?

I think I do not understand that comment. Can you clarify, possibly w/
an example of you think is wrong and how it could be corrected?

Something like the following?

        clocks {
               g762_clk: oscillator {
                         compatible = "fixed-clock";
                         #clock-cells = <0>;
                         clock-frequency = <32768>;
               };
        };

I think I could then backport that change to all readynas .dts and
the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/g762.txt at some point.

ok, will do.

ok, will change that.

Thanks for your feedback.
