AFAIK only the KSZ9897S variant.  AN5513 says the S "contains the same 
SGMII
port as the KSZ9477 however, the KSZ9897R has a second RGMII port", and
the R data sheet never mentions SGMII at all.

Unfortunately the chip id for both seems to be identical (0x00989700), 
so
this would apply to the R variant too. With this the R variant should
return -ENODEV in ksz9477_pcs_create() during probe.

Have a look how KSZ9563 is split off the KSZ9893 chip id, so maybe it 
can
be solved in a similar manner.  PORT_SGMII_SEL could also be worth a 
look.
