RMII clock sources
Either clock the PHY from an external 50 MHz clock or use a PHY with an embedded PLL to
generate the 50 MHz frequency.

29.4.4 MII/RMII selection
The mode, MII or RMII, is selected using the configuration bit 23, MII_RMII_SEL, in the
SYSCFG_PMC register. The application has to set the MII/RMII mode while the Ethernet
controller is under reset or before enabling the clocks.
MII/RMII internal clock scheme
The clock scheme required to support both the MII and RMII, as well as 10 and 100 Mbit/s
operations is described in Figure 329.
