  Document support for clock-frequency and add details on why this
property is needed and what values are supported.

From internal documentation, while other values are supported, the
correct function of the MDIO bus is not assured hence add only the
suggested supported values to the property enum.

Hi Christian

802.3 says the clock should be up to 2.5MHz by default. So the nearest
would be 1562500. Please document that if not set, it defaults to
this. And make the driver actually default to that.

As I said, this is very fk up and default value is 390KHz unless anyone
in the chain sets it (sometime uboot does it but it's not that common...
default qsdk uboot doesn't do that for example)... Ok I have to change
this to default to 1562500.

I doubt you will cause any regression by defaulting to 2.5HHz
instead. That is what the standard says it should be. All devices on
the bus should support that.

default: 390625
