So you're saying here that this is a 9 bit field...

... and then you use GENMASK(15,14) | BIT(10) here to set bits in that
bitfield. If there are multiple bitfields, then these should be defined
separately and the mask built up.

I suspect that they aren't, and you're using this to generate a _value_
that has bits 5, 4, and 0 set for something that really takes a _value_.
So, FIELD_PREP(RGMII_CONFIG_SGMII_CLK_DVDR, 0x31) or
FIELD_PREP(RGMII_CONFIG_SGMII_CLK_DVDR, 49) would be entirely correct
here.

The next concern I have is that you're only doing this for SPEED_10.
If it needs to be programmed for SPEED_10 to work, and not any of the
other speeds, isn't this something that can be done at initialisation
time? If it has to be done depending on the speed, then don't you need
to do this for each speed with an appropriate value?
