I also agree with that relates to SOC integration.

Don't consider it complex, GPR5[9] just select the rgmii gtx source from PAD or internal
Likeļ¼š
GPR5[9] is cleared: PAD -> MAC gtx
GPR5[9] is set: Pll_enet -> MAC gtx
As you said, register one clock mux for the selection, assign the clock parent by board dts
file, but now current clock driver doesn't support GPR clock.
