The bindings file states: stmmaceth - "GMAC main clock", apb - "Peripheral registers interface clock". It isn't that easy to understand what they actually mean especially seeing the DW *MAC manual operates with clock definitions like Application, System, Host, CSR, Transmit, Receive, etc clocks. Moreover the clocks usage in the driver doesn't shade a full light on their essence. What inferred from there is that the "stmmaceth" name has been assigned to the common clock, which feeds both system and CSR interfaces. But what about "apb"? The bindings defines it as the clock for "peripheral registers interface". So it's close to the CSR clock in the IP-core manual notation. If so then when "apb" clock is specified aside with the "stmmaceth", it represents a case when the DW *MAC is synthesized with CSR_SLV_CLK=y (separate system and CSR clocks). But even though the "apb" clock is requested in the MAC driver, the driver doesn't actually use it as a separate CSR clock where the IP-core manual requires. All of that makes me thinking that the case of separate system and CSR clocks isn't correctly implemented in the driver. Let's start with elaborating the clocks description so anyone reading the DW *MAC bindings file would understand that "stmmaceth" is the system clock and "pclk" is actually the CSR clock. Indeed in accordance with sheets depicted in [1]: system/application clock can be either of: hclk_i, aclk_i, clk_app_i; CSR clock can be either of: hclk_i, aclk_i, clk_app_i, clk_csr_i. (Most likely the similar definitions present in the others IP-core manuals.) So the CSR clock can be tied to the application clock considering the later as the main clock, but not the other way around. In case if there is only "stmmaceth" clock specified in a DT node, then it will be considered as a source of clocks for both application and CSR. But if "pclk" is also specified in the list of the device clocks, then it will be perceived as the separate CSR clock.
