Actually most of the interfaces on a7k/a8k require multiple clocks to
be enabled, however all those twisted dependencies are handled within:
drivers/clk/mvebu/cp110-system-controller.c
With the latest patch of Thomas Petazzoni, MG clock is already
specified as a child of MG_CORE, so I believe a just minor change will
resolve remaining GOP clock dependency. This way we will leave
orion-mdio driver untouched around clocks.

Thomas, what is your opinion?

Marcin
