Thanks for your comments.
refclk and pll1_refclk are the two input reference clocks for the PLLs.
phy_en_refclk is used to enable output reference clock in some cases.

Yes, if both refclk and pll1_refclk are present, phy_en_refclk can't be used.

Yes, but refclk was the single input reference clock used for PLLs earlier.
As stated in commit message, a new input reference clock (pll1_refclk) is added here.
