What other rate is supported in the MII mode ? Isn't the rate always 25 
MHz for MII , no matter whether it is generated by RCC or external Xtal ?

What happens if that external clock source is not an xtal, but an 
oscillator with its own driver described in DT, and enabled e.g. using 
GPIO (that's compatible "gpio-gate-clock" for that oscillator) . Then 
you do need to enable those clock even in the "normal" (with external 
clock source instead of RCC clock source) MII case.

Look at this:
"
RM0436 Rev 6 Reset and clock control (RCC)
Clock distribution for Ethernet (ETH)
Figure 83. Peripheral clock distribution for Ethernet
Page 575
"
See the mux at bottom left side in the PKCS group.

I suspect that no matter whether the clock are 25 MHz or 50 MHz, they 
enter this mux, the mux selects the clock source from either RCC or from 
external oscillator, and therefore the original code was correct.

I sent 5 patches which split this code up, you were on CC:

[net-next,RFC,PATCH 1/5] net: stmmac: dwmac-stm32: Separate out external 
clock rate validation

Maybe you can apply those, fix them up as needed, and then add this 
series on top ? I think it would simplify this code a lot, since that 
series splits up the clock rate validation / PMCR configuration / 
external-internal clock selection into separate steps. What do you think ?
