I'm still not convinced that exposing the free running vs recovered
distinction from the start is a good idea. Intuitively it'd seem that
it's better to use the recovered clock to feed the wire side of the MAC,
this patch set uses the free running. So I'd personally strip the last 
part off and add it later if needed.

But I won't fuss, if we get an ack from one of the PHY maintainers -
I'll merge as is.

Andrew?
