The Synopsys Ethernet IP uses the CSR clock as a base clock for MDC. The divisor used is set in the MAC_MDIO_Address register field CR (Clock Rate) The divisor is there to change the CSR clock into a clock that falls below the IEEE 802.3 specified max frequency of 2.5MHz. If the CSR clock is 300MHz, the code falls back to using the reset value in the MAC_MDIO_Address register, as described in the comment above this code. However, 300MHz is actually an allowed value and the proper divider can be estimated quite easily (it's just 1Hz difference!) A CSR frequency of 300MHz with the maximum clock rate value of 0x5 (STMMAC_CSR_250_300M, a divisor of 124) gives somewhere around ~2.42MHz which is below the IEEE 802.3 specified maximum. For the ARTPEC-8 SoC, the CSR clock is this problematic 300MHz, and unfortunately, the reset-value of the MAC_MDIO_Address CR field is 0x0. This leads to a clock rate of zero and a divisor of 42, and gives an MDC frequency of ~7.14MHz. Allow CSR clock of 300MHz by making the comparison inclusive.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
