s/you/your/

Does KSZ8 have a REFCLK output of any sort? If it doesn't, then
"microchip,synclko-disable" is kind of supported, right?

I wonder what there is to gain by saying that you should remove some
device tree properties from non-ksz9477. After all, anyone can add any
random properties to a KSZ8 switch OF node and you won't warn about
those.
