Also mark the clock optional
Why? Your commit msg must provide rationale. Clocks are rarely optional
signals, so this looks wrong.


Well. I don't know too much about the hardware either. I think the clock can be either shared with MAC controller or completely non-existent in hardware.


But from the driver side, the clock must be stripped from MDIO bus node. The clocks must be controlled entirely within MAC controller driver. Do I need to mention it in this commit too?


Actually I've never seen anything like "MDIO bus clock" in the datasheet. The MDIO bus and MAC controller are activated simultaneously. So I think removing this clock entirely is also acceptable.



Best regards,
Krzysztof
