Is this missing a modification of the header file to add the clk field
to struct unimac_mdio_pdata? I don't see that field in the
include/linux/platform_data/mdio-bcm-unimac.h header currently...

Oh. you included that in the first patch of the series. I see.

It feels like the series would be more natural of this was 1/3 instead
of 2/3, since the current 1/3 patch depends on this clk value being set, no?

The result of the series makes sense tho:
