Commit 4b5923249b8fa4 ("net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: Configure all remaining GSWIP_MII_CFG bits") added all known bits in the GSWIP_MII_CFGp register. It helped bring this register into a well-defined state so the driver has to rely less on the bootloader to do things right. Unfortunately it also sets the GSWIP_MII_CFG_RMII_CLK bit without any possibility to configure it. Upon further testing it turns out that all boards which are supported by the GSWIP driver in OpenWrt which use an RMII PHY have a dedicated oscillator on the board which provides the 50MHz RMII reference clock.
Don't set the GSWIP_MII_CFG_RMII_CLK bit (but keep the code which always clears it) to fix support for the Fritz!Box 7362 SL in OpenWrt. This is a board with two Atheros AR8030 RMII PHYs. With the "RMII clock" bit set the MAC also generates the RMII reference clock whose signal then conflicts with the signal from the oscillator on the board. This results in a constant cycle of the PHY detecting link up/down (and as a result of that: the two ports using the AR8030 PHYs are not working).
At the time of writing this patch there's no known board where the MAC (GSWIP) has to generate the RMII reference clock. If needed this can be implemented in future by providing a device-tree flag so the GSWIP_MII_CFG_RMII_CLK bit can be toggled per port.
