As you suggested, it looks like KSZ9897 clocking mode depends on RMII interface
mode (with strapping pins), but I don't see this for KSZ8863. The PHY/MAC mode
is selected with Register 0x35 bit 7 and the clocking mode is selected via
strapping pins EN_REFCLKO and SMTXD32 (and additional register 0xC6 bit 3).
I guess its possible for the KSZ8863 to be the clock provider/consumer
regardless of PHY/MAC mode?
Table 3-5: RMII CLOCK SETTING of KSZ8863 datasheet describes the available
clocking modes. If we try to create a relation between KSZ9897 and KSZ8863:
KSZ9897 "Normal Mode" is equivalent to KSZ8863 mode described in first column
of table 3-5:
- EN_REFCLKO = 0, 0xC6(3) = 0 -> external 50Mhz OSC input to REFCLKI and X1
pin directly
KSZ9897 "Clock Mode" is equivalent to KSZ8863 mode described in fourth/fifth
column (difference is only clock frequency) of table 3-5:
- EN_REFCLKO = 1, 0xC6(3) = 1 -> 50/25Mhz on X1 pin, 50/25Mhz RMII clock goes
to REFCLKI internally. REFCLKI can be pulled down by resistor.
That leaves us with additional columns 2 and 3 of table 3-5 for KSZ8863, that
are similar to KSZ9897 Clock mode, but REFCLKI needs to be fed externally from
REFCLKO.

I don't quite get how the proposed patch might effect this topic? By setting
PHY/MAC mode? As noted, I dont see the same relation between clock and
MII mode for KSZ8863 as for KSZ9897?
