Commit 42310a24389c ("net: phy: motorcomm: Enable optional clock for
YT8531") enables the SoC-provided reference clock for the YT8531 in its
probe. The YT8521 has the same need on crystal-less boards but goes
through yt8521_probe(), so enable it there too. The clock is optional,
so crystal-clocked boards are unaffected.

Changes in v4:
- Rebased on net-next/main (Jakub Kicinski). The YT8531 clock enable
  landed meanwhile as 42310a24389c, so v4 now only adds the YT8521 path;
  the include and the yt8531 change are already upstream. No helper, per
  Andrew's and Alexey's preference on v3.

v1..v3 history:
- v1 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260719034555.3623003-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (YT8531; superseded upstream by 42310a24389c)
- v2 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260727205602.1188008-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (added YT8521 via a helper)
- v3 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260728055659.1211459-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (open-coded)

Tested by Gavin Gao on a PicoCOM RK3576 board with a YT8521.
