Would that not also be taken care of in the phy driver?

Hi Konrad,
These clocks are the SOC clocks that is not related to the PHY type.
no matter what kind of PHY is connected, we also need to configure
these clocks.

Hi Jie

You can avoid lots of these questions by making your commit message
better. Assume the reader does not know the clock tree for this
device. With a bit of experience, you can guess what reviewers are
going to ask, and answer those questions in the commit message.

Hi Andrew,
Got it, will take more attention on the commit message to make the
code clearly in future patches, thanks for the suggestion.
