The SJA1105 has the problem, so i would expect it to be involved in
the solution. Otherwise, how is this going to work for other MAC
drivers?

Maybe you need to expose a common clock framework clock for the TXC
clock line, which the SJA1105 can disable/enable? That then makes it
clear what other MAC drivers need to do.
