This statement is not exactly true, proven by my board where I've just
printed these values:

Let's resolve that difference before the patches are merged, and write
some correct comments.

I agree that the datasheet is not clear, but I think that the RX_CLK
output is enabled or not based on the strapping of the RCVRDCLK1 and
RCVRDCLK2 pins. Coincidentally, these are also muxed with PHYADD1 and
PHYADD2, so the default value of RX_CLK_DISABLE might depend on the
PHY address (?!).

What is your PHY address? Mine are 0x10 and 0x11 for the VSC8502 on my
board.

Not saying that the patch is wrong or that the resolution should be any
different than it is. Just that it's clear we can't both be right, and
my PHYs clearly work (re-tested just now).
