[PATCH 1/3] fs_enet: update clock names to comply with FEC binding

a recent FEC binding document update that was motivated by i.MX
development revealed that ARM and PowerPC implementations in Linux
did not agree on the clock names to use for the FEC nodes

change the OF clock lookup to prefer "ipg" over "per", which
improves compliance with the binding, and keeps compatibility
with former device trees
