what kind of hub is this? Why does it need an extra clock line? Usually
only a phy needs an extra clock line.

If this an somehow superspecial phy with integrated hub ports. Than we
still need to have an abstraction for this on the phy layer, and not in
the imx glue. The imx does not need to know anything about special
designed boardlayout cirucuits.
