Sorry, but even if that regmap_write() is targetting the exact same
register, these are not identical.

S32_PHY_INTF_SEL_RGMII, which is a S32-specific value, takes the value 2.
PHY_INTF_SEL_RGMII is the dwmac specific value, and takes the value 1.

If this targets the same register, then by writing PHY_INTF_SEL_RGMII,
you are in effect writing the equivalent of S32_PHY_INTF_SEL_SGMII to
it. This seems like a bug.
