Oops... Will fix this.

On the EVK1100 board, the CPU (UC3A0512) is connected to the PHY via an
RMII bus. This requires the CPU clock to be at least 50 MHz.
Unfortunately, the chip on current EVK1100 boards may be unable to run
at more than 50 MHz, and with the oscillator on the board, the closest
frequency we can generate is 48 MHz.

This patch makes it possible to limit the macb to 10 MBit for this
case. We are open for suggestions for other solutions.
