Notice in all of the descriptions there is no definition of "system clock."
I carefully read all of the 8xx manuals, and there are a few references
to "system clocks", especially around power management and frequency
control.  There are a couple of references to peripheral clocks being
derived from a "system clock", which from the context appears to be the
same as the core clock, not the CLKOUT that would be supplied to the rest
of the "system."

It appears the MII clock must be derived from the core clock speed, so
my code change suggestion the other day was wrong. :-)

try this (since the problem is the divisor register truncation):

(((((bd->bi_intfreq + 500000) / 2500000) + 1) / 2 ) & 0x3F ) << 1;

Thanks.
