Hi Ezequiel

This should work, but what would be nicer is to look and see if there
is a node in DT for each device. If it does not have a node, don't set
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED, so that the clock does get turned off, and we save
a bit of power. Quite a few of the kirkwood devices only have one
ethernet.
