Then you miss restricting it (:false) in one of if:then: blocks.

Also, binding cannot be after the user. You need to reorder patches.

Can't you deduce it from the presence of clock inputs? IOW, if the
clocks are physically connected, is it even reasonable or possible to
use internal clock?

More precise:

items:
  - description: PHY0 reference clock config
  - description: PHY1 reference clock config
  enum: [ 0, 1 ]
default: [ 1, 1 ]

Anyway, default 1, 1 is pretty non-obvious, so this should be just
non-unique-string-array (and property should be like
rockchip,phy-ref-clk-source/sel).
