Commit Message

In RMII mode the IOMUXC GPR[1] setup always selects the internally
generated reference clock, ignoring the snps,rmii_refclk_ext property.
On boards where the 50 MHz clock comes from an external source, the PHY
auto-negotiation times out:

    Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete...... TIMEOUT !
    phy_startup() failed: -110

Set ENET_QOS_CLK_TX_CLK_SEL only if snps,rmii_refclk_ext is missing, as
Linux does.
