Since you have switched the polarity, devicestrees that contain
"nxp,rmii-refclk-in" would actually not need an update to preserve
functionality. However...

...as you say here, all tja11xx phy nodes that do not have the property
would need to be updated to retain functionality. Given you can't even
determine which devicetrees would need to be updated, I'm going to have
to NAK this change as an unnecessary ABI break.
