Should these be phy_interface?
Hi,
The code is validating the clock frequency of clock that are INPUT into
the MAC. These clock can be generated by either the PHY, or Xtal, or
some other source, but they are still the clock which are INPUT into the
MAC. Therefore I believe mac_interface is correct here.
Does this clock depend on the interface
mode used with the PHY?
I don't think the clock depend on the PHY mode. Look at
drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_platform.c :
"
458 plat->phy_interface = phy_mode;
459 rc = stmmac_of_get_mac_mode(np);
460 plat->mac_interface = rc < 0 ? plat->phy_interface : rc;
"

I think in the unlikely case that you would have a mode converter
between the MAC and PHY, the clock that are validated by this code would
still be the clock that are INPUT into the MAC, i.e. clock on the MAC
side of the mode converter and NOT on the PHY side , and those clock
would not depend on the PHY mode, they would depend on the MAC mode .
