just now Rob wrote for v3:

The correct thing to do here is make the phy a clock provider and then 
the client side use 'assigned-clock-rate' to set the rate. That has the 
advantage that it also describes the connection of the clock signal. You 
might not need that for a simple case, but I could imagine needing that 
in a more complex case.
