The driver only manages the gates, enabling and disabling them and getting their freq.
The missing clocks of the ethernet driver in this case are dividers of the PLL, thus
we don't need to enable them, and for now the driver don't need the freq.

In this case, the driver does not support the operation for these clocks, but maybe it would be
better to add them with reg=0 and return -ENOSYS in the following return :

Here thsi means it's not a gate.
