This all, including the probe func, is required because of the MDIO dance,
I assume?

Commonizing that would make more sense should more clocks like this appear
in the future.

Well it clearly cannot be disabled if it has the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag :D

What's the "PHY mode" you're talking about?

I see a whole bunch of CRITICAL clocks.. please make sure these clocks
are actually necessary for Linux to know about (i.e. if we don't need
to call any operations on them, we might just skip registering them
with the driver).
