[PATCH net-next v2] net: ethernet: stmmac: dwmac-rk: Make the clk_phy could be used for external phy

From: Chaoyi Chen
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 21:23:28 EST


From: Chaoyi Chen <chaoyi.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For external phy, clk_phy should be optional, and some external phy
need the clock input from clk_phy. This patch adds support for setting
clk_phy for external phy.
