Odd code placement, and it looks too crammed/shifted to the right due to indentation.

The calling pattern is as follows: ksz8_port_setup() has 2 callers.

One is from
ds->ops->port_setup()
-> ksz_port_setup()
   -> filters out everything except user ports
   -> dev->dev_ops->port_setup()
      -> ksz8_port_setup()

and the other is from
ds->ops->setup() // switch-wide
-> dev->dev_ops->config_cpu_port()
   -> ksz8_config_cpu_port()
      -> ksz8_port_setup()

So user ports and CPU ports meet at ksz8_port_setup() from different
call paths, but I think it's strange to continue this coding pattern for
port stuff that's not common between user ports and CPU ports. For that
reason, the placement of the existing ksz8795_cpu_interface_select() is
also weird, when it could have been directly placed under
ksz8_config_cpu_port(), and it would have not confusingly shared a code
path with user ports.

Could you please add a dedicated ksz88x3_config_rmii_clk(), called
directly from ksz8_config_cpu_port()? It can have this as first step:

	if (!ksz_is_ksz88x3(dev))
		return 0;

and then the rest of the code can have a single level of indentation,
which would look much more natural.
