Great. Please add a comment in the DT explaining this. 99% of the time
'rgmii' is wrong, but this is the 1%. We should make it clear this is
not just another cut/paste error, but very intentional and correct
because of the PCB design.
There is a patch to checkpatch.pl i want to introduce in the next
development cycle which will look for 'rgmii', and if found, look on
the line before for a comment including the word 'PCB'. If it finds
'rgmii' without such a comment it will issue a warning. So it would be
nice to avoid that in your correct case.
Andrew
