[PATCH net-next v3] net: phy: motorcomm: Enable optional clock for YT8531

[PATCH net-next v3] net: phy: motorcomm: Enable optional clock for YT8531

[Yanan He]

Some boards feed the YT8531 PHY from an SoC-provided external
reference clock described by the common ethernet-phy "clocks" property.

Enable the optional PHY clock during probe so boards can model this
clock as a PHY input instead of keeping the clock alive from the MAC
driver.

This is needed on the Alientek DLRV1126, where the PHY reference clock
is provided by CLK_GMAC_ETHERNET_OUT.

v3:
- Split the Motorcomm PHY change out of the Alientek DLRV1126 board
  support series as requested by Andrew.
- Keep the clock modeled as an optional PHY input clock.

v2:
- Model CLK_GMAC_ETHERNET_OUT as a PHY clock instead of keeping it alive
  from dwmac-rk.
