Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but yes I would check with
phy-mode = "rgmii-id". There is also a possible issue with rk gmac
driver in both U-Boot and linux, it always set enable tx/rx delay bit.

Please, try with following in U-Boot:

 }


Also check with the series "phy: rockchip-inno-usb2: Write to correct
GRF" [1]. Trying to configure bits intended for USBGRF in GRF is
probably not that good :-)
