I must admit - I don't care. That's the effect when submitter bypasses
DT bindings review (81311c03ab4d ("net: ethernet: stmmac: add management
of clk_csr property")).

If anyone wants ABI, please document the properties.

If out-of-tree users complain, please upstream your DTS or do not use
undocumented features...

Best regards,
Krzysztof
