you are right, it's a missing clock. For SGMII ports the driver
doesn't really use the clock source other then doing the one
devm_clk_get(), but this is enough to get the clock going.

Below patch fixes the crash and brings back the second SGMII port
(even without a clock source in device tree, I guess it uses clock
from first port).  From a correctness standpoint there should probably 
be a clk_prepare_enable(), if port is SGMII.

Could you test the patch ? If it works, I'll submit it.

Thomas.

Yes, this works. You can add my Tested-by.

Thanks,
