I thing that system clock and bus clock can be different (in terminology
of the MPC855T user manual)

MPC855T manual, section Clocks and Power Control:
"
GCLK1C/GCLK2C - Basic clocks supplied to the core, the data and
instruction caches, and MMUs.
GCLK1_50/GCLK2_50 - Optionally divided versions of GCLK1/GCLK2, which
are used to clock the GPCM and UPM in the memory controller and to
provide the CLKOUT output for the external bus.
.
.
.
 - General system clocks GCLK1C, GCLK2C, GCLK1, GCLK2
  - Memory controller and external bus clocks GCLK1_50, GCLK2_50
.
.
The MPC855T provides the capability to run the external bus and memory
controller at a lower frequency than the internal modules. This
capability is provided by the external bus frequency dividers. The
external bus clocks GCLK1_50 and GCLK2_50 are derived from GCLK1 and
GCLK2, as determined by the SCCR[EBDF].
"


MPC855T manual, MII_SPEED register:
"MII_SPEED controls the frequency of the MII management interface clock
(MDC) relative to system clock."

OK. It is more correct.
