The delay setup is PCB specific, but the register offsets/bits are phy
specific.

I think we need a callback in the phy drivers to configure the delay
lines, with values provided by the boards. I do not know the exact
background of this issue, but I see more and more often that boards bang
arbitrary values in the phy registers, and mostly this seems to be the
configuration of these delay lines.

Currently we have the same problem in the kernel, so it should be fixed
there aswell.
