As far as I can tell, the RV1126 GMAC should also be converted to use
the DELAY_ENABLE macro, which the vendor kernel already does. [*]  
Perhaps
that could be performed in new patch 4/4 in this series?

BTW, it would be quite neat to introduce the DELAY_VALUE macro, which
makes the function calls a bit more compact. [*]
