Sorry, I didn't find the correct PHY driver, could you point me to which PHY
driver that I can refer to?
The PHY drivers I searched for using the "clk" keyword all seem to set the
clock via a vendor defined property. Such as,
realtek: "realtek,clkout-disable"
dp83867 and dp83869: "ti,clk-output-sel" and "ti,sgmii-ref-clock-output-enable"
motorcomm: " motorcomm,tx-clk-1000-inverted"
micrel: "rmii-ref"
