About $F_{xy}(x, y) = F_{yx}(x, y)$

Suppose that $f(t)$, $g(t)$ have a 2nd order derivative.

Let $F(x, y) := x f(\frac{y}{x}) + g(\frac{y}{x})$.

Then, $F_{xy}(x, y) = F_{yx}(x, y)$.

$F$ is not a class $C^2$ function in general.

Is there a necessary and sufficient condition to be $F_{xy}(x, y) = F_{yx}(x, y)$ when $F(x, y)$ has all the 2nd order partial derivatives?
