AM5708: PCIe Refclk architecture

Part Number: AM5708

Hi,

We are using AM5708BCBDJA as a PCIe end point. Our main processor(Root complex) is from another board and is giving Refclk of 100MHz. 

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/am5708.pdf?ts=1647949251450&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FAM5708 

says that "A Common Refclk Rx Architecture is required to be used for the device PCIe interface" (pg: 381)  Does that mean the Root complex and AM5708 should have common 100MHz clock or can i generate 100MHz using oscillator locally and provide it to AM5708?  

Thanks
