Register 10: Ethernet MAC Management Divider (MACMDV), offset 0x024
This register enables software to set the clock divider for the Management Data Clock (MDC). This
clock is used to synchronize read and write transactions between the system and the MII Management
registers. The frequency of the MDC clock can be calculated from the following formula:
The clock divider must be written with a value that ensures that the MDC clock does not exceed a
frequency of 2.5 MHz.

Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.

Clock Divider
The DIV bits are used to set the clock divider for the MDC clock used
to transmit data between the MAC and PHY layers over the serial MII
interface.
