Observations:
---------------
Board VCK190 +NXP phy.
Observed TDCV value generated by IP is 9clock cycles(112ns)[Choosing Falling edge of bit].
But Bit starts on rx line after 160 ns observed with scope.

Exp1:
BRPA 1Mbps Sampling 75%
BRPD 5MBPS Sampling 75%

Without TDC feature:
Bit length 200ns, Sampling point 75% means 150ns.
IP tries to sample at 150ns , but Bit starting at 160ns,so observed failure.

With TDC feature:
Bit length 200ns, Sampling point 75%, TDCO =12clock cycles(150ns).
Ip tries after 112+150 = 262ns,able to sample the bit.
