If you submit two DTSes using the phyboard DTSI, it will be enough to
justify that split.

Mhmm... I assume you also measured it without this clock-dance in DTS
and the clock was on in such case?

It is pretty confusing... The RV3028 registers a clock provider and its
clock will be disabled by the core because it is not used. Adding a
clock consumer to RV3028 should not change here anything because RV3028
does not use this clock. Adding a fixed clock without reference to HW
also should not change here anything.

Anyway, your RV3028 node with a clock phandle would not pass dtschema
check so it's a hint you are doing something not correct for Linux
kernel.
