Okay, I think this driver is mindless copying of dwmac-dwc-qos-eth.c
between 24th February and 9th April 2025. I can say this because I added
this function to that driver and later removed it.

Looking at the rest of the code, I doubt this even does anything useful
(hence "mindless copying") as you're not fetching any clocks into this
array, and plat_dat->num_clks will be zero here. Thus, this will return
NULL. Therefore, you haven't thought about whether you need this or not,
but have just copied dwmac-dwc-qos-eth.c and then modified it until it
works for you.

You haven't acknowledged where you derived this code from - you've cut
the header of your source file out, and basically are claiming it to be
all your own work. I know this is rubbish for the reason I've stated
above. This is quite simply plagiarism. I am not impressed.

Thus I will end the review here, and simply state that this is not
acceptable.
