Dear Rob,

Thanks for your comments.

There are two categories of physical clocks related to MAC.
1. axi/apb/ptp_top, these clks are from clk gates, so only on/off is
needed.
2. mac_ext/ptp_ref, these clks are from mux. If different source is
selected, the clk frequecy will be different. So it's necessary to set a
proper parent for them, i.e. mac_parent/ptp_parent.

How should I handle parent clocks if not defined here? Any examples I
can refer to?
