Sorry, didn't think about it on v1, but I would imagine other vendors' 
PHYs have similar functionality. We should have something common. We 
have the clock binding for clocks already, so we should consider if 
that should be used here. It may look like an overkill for what you 
need, but things always start out that way. What if you want to turn the 
clock on and off as well?

That's obvious.
