In general, the star style should always work if you have a proper termination
at the end of oscillator transmission line and keep the traces from termination
to SerDes clk pin very short (for 77.76MHz, the traces should be less than 1.5
inch). But daisy chain style may not work depend on how larger the SerDes chip
package parasitic and how long your transmission line from clock driver to
SerDes chip.
Hope this will be help
