enetc: Make eMDIO MDC rate configurable from DT

This commit adds an mdc_div field to struct enetc_mdio_priv and introduces
enetc_mdio_update_mdc_div() to calculate the MDC clock divider from an
optional upstream clock and clock-frequency DT property.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this error path leak bus?

In vsc9959_mdio_bus_alloc(), bus is allocated earlier with non-devm
mdiobus_alloc_size():

	bus = mdiobus_alloc_size(sizeof(*mdio_priv));
	if (!bus)
		return -ENOMEM;

If enetc_mdio_update_mdc_div(bus) fails (for example, when devm_clk_get()
defers or fails, or when the calculated divider is out of range), returning
rc directly skips calling mdiobus_free(bus), unlike the mdiobus_register()
error path right below.

[Severity: High]
What happens to netc_port_create_emdio_bus() in
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c when ENETC_EMDIO_CFG uses
mdio_priv->mdc_div?

In drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_port_create_emdio_bus(), the
driver allocates struct enetc_mdio_priv via devm_mdiobus_alloc_size() and
wires up the shared enetc_mdio callbacks without initializing
mdio_priv->mdc_div:

	bus->name = "NXP NETC switch external MDIO Bus";
	bus->read = enetc_mdio_read_c22;
	bus->write = enetc_mdio_write_c22;
	bus->read_c45 = enetc_mdio_read_c45;
	bus->write_c45 = enetc_mdio_write_c45;
	bus->parent = dev;
	mdio_priv = bus->priv;
	mdio_priv->hw = hw;
	mdio_priv->mdio_base = NETC_EMDIO_BASE;

Because devm_mdiobus_alloc_size() zero-initializes bus->priv,
mdio_priv->mdc_div remains 0. Every subsequent C22 or C45 MDIO read or
write on a NETC switch port external MDIO bus will program
MDIO_CFG_CLKDIV(0) into ENETC_MDIO_CFG instead of
ENETC_MDIO_DEFAULT_DIVIDER (258), violating the hardware minimum divider
requirement of 5.

Should netc_port_create_emdio_bus() also initialize mdio_priv->mdc_div?

[Severity: High]
Is bus->parent the right device to query for the clock-frequency property
and input clock across all callers of enetc_mdio_update_mdc_div()?

1. When called from enetc_mdiobus_create() -> enetc_mdio_probe() in
drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_pf_common.c, bus->parent is
&pf->si->pdev->dev (the parent ENETC PF PCI device), while the external
MDIO bus is represented by the child DT node np (the mdio subnode passed to
of_mdiobus_register(bus, np)). Any clock-frequency property placed in the
mdio child node is ignored because device_property_read_u32() inspects the
parent PF device instead.

2. Furthermore, on ENETC4 PF nodes (such as pci1131,e101 in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fsl,enetc.yaml and
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx95.dtsi), the parent PF node's clocks
property is the MAC RGMII/RMII ref clock (IMX95_CLK_ENETREF), rather than
the NETC system clock that drives MDC.

3. When called from enetc_imdio_create() and vsc9959_mdio_bus_alloc(), the
bus is an internal on-chip PCS MDIO bus (imdio) with no DT node of its own,
so querying bus->parent inspects the parent PF or switch PCI device node.

4. Also, since enet_clk is only used here to read clk_get_rate(enet_clk),
does devm_clk_get() unnecessarily hold a managed clock reference on
bus->parent for the lifetime of the device?

[Severity: Medium]
Does MDIO_CFG_CLKDIV() drop the least-significant bit of odd 9-bit dividers
calculated here?

In drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_mdio.c, MDIO_CFG_CLKDIV is
defined just above MDIO_CFG_ENC45:

	#define MDIO_CFG_CLKDIV(x)	((((x) >> 1) & 0xff) << 8)
	#define MDIO_CFG_HOLD(x)	(((x) << 2) & GENMASK(4, 2))
	#define MDIO_CFG_ENC45		BIT(6)

Shifting x right by 1 before shifting left by 8 is equivalent to
(((x) & 0x1fe) << 7), which clears bit 7 (the LSB of the 9-bit
MDIO_CLK_DIV[8:0] field at bits [15:7]) and turns any odd divider in
[5, 0x1ff] into div - 1. In particular, when div == 5, it passes the
div < 5 check above but programs 4 into the hardware register.

When commit dd8f467eda72 ("net/fsl: xgmac_mdio: Support setting the MDC
frequency") added xgmac_mdio_set_mdc_freq(), it updated the corresponding
macro from (((x>>1) & 0xff) << 8) to (((x) & 0x1ff) << 7). Should
MDIO_CFG_CLKDIV(x) be updated the same way here?

[Severity: Medium]
Does returning err directly here leak the port_regs mapping?

In enetc_pci_mdio_probe(), port_regs is mapped with non-devm pci_iomap():

	port_regs = pci_iomap(pdev, 0, 0);

When enetc_mdio_update_mdc_div(bus) fails, returning directly bypasses the
err_pci_enable / err_mdiobus_alloc / err_hw_alloc cleanup path that calls
iounmap(port_regs).

[Severity: Medium]
Does this error path also leak bus in enetc_imdio_create()?

Here bus is allocated with non-devm mdiobus_alloc_size():

	bus = mdiobus_alloc_size(sizeof(*mdio_priv));
	if (!bus)
		return -ENOMEM;

Returning err directly when enetc_mdio_update_mdc_div(bus) fails skips the
free_mdio_bus label that calls mdiobus_free(bus).
