Hi Sebastian

What happens if at this point, the ethernet clock is gated off?  I
assume the CPU locks solid, requiring a power cycle.

It would be a bit of an odd situation, u-boot has disabled the clock,
yet we have a DT node for the device and no valid local-mac-address.
We do however know that Jason Gunthorpe u-boot does gate the second
ethernet for his board, so it is not completely impossible to hit this
situation, particularly when bringing up a new board.

Are we too early in the boot to actually use the clock information in
the node to find it, and clk_prepare_enable() it before making the
access?

	Andrew
