I haven't looked into the details of the clock, so "wouldn't be bad"
is probably true, "notably good", well, that would be a task for
someone with experience doing clock benchmarking and who can describe
MAVAR without looking it up.

The 405 Mbps for TX.  I've seen around 30 Mbyte/sec on single stream
TCP RX.  Got 99.5 Mbyte/sec from a Mac Mini in the same subnet so
that's not a limit of the host on the other end of the benchmark.

I call shenanigans on the 940 Mbps iperf number though.  The HSIC bus
is only 480 Mbit/sec.  Two pints of beer in a one pint glass would be
some trick.
