let's focus on the condition:
1. clk_csr may be zero, it should not be the condition. or the clk_csr =
0 will jump to the wrong block.
2. Since stmmac_clk_csr_set will get_clk_rate from stmmac_clk,
the plat->stmmac_clk is a more proper condition.

In some case, it's impossible to get the clk rate of stmmac_clk,
so it's better to remain the clk_csr flow.
