Add property st,ext-phyclk to manage cases when PHY have no cristal/quartz
This property can be used with RMII phy without cristal 50Mhz and when we
want to select RCC clock instead of ETH_REF_CLK
Can be used also with RGMII phy with no cristal and we select RCC clock
instead of ETH_CLK125
This new property replace st,eth-clk-sel and st,eth-ref-clk-sel
I don't really see a response to Rob's comment on v2, either here or in
a reply to his email on v2:

A sentence saying explaining exactly what the old properties do not
support that this one does, would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Conor.

I understand your remarks, the goal of the new property is to be more simple for customers/users

with old properties we have lots of support to explain which one to use in which cases, now only one property to use (regardless of mode)

Thanks,

Christophe.
