Hi Simon,

Apologies for the delay in response. Thanks for reviewing the patch.
Please find my comments inline.

Sure. Will split the patch into two and will submit the updated patch
in the next revision shortly,

The changes listed in the patch are feature additions where we give an
option of configuring the clock and speed in the absence of the EEPROM.
The current code does not have any bugs related to this. Since, these
are the additional features/requirements, we are targeting at 'net-
next' rather than 'net'.
