This has not caused issues in the past. So i'm wondering if this is
somehow specific to your system? Does everybody else use a PHY which
does not implement this bit? Does your synthesis of the stmmac have a
different clock tree?

By changing this value for every instance of the stmmac, you are
potentially causing a power regression for stmmac implementations
which don't need the clock. So we need a clear understanding, stopping
the clock is wrong in general and so the change is correct in
general. Or this is specific to your system, and you probably need to
add priv->dma_cap.keep_rx_clock_ticking, which you set in your glue
driver,and use here to decide what to pass to phy_init_eee().
