Actually it would be great if Rockchip could clarify the delay
duration introduced by a single delay element in GMAC-IOMUX delay
lines, which are controlled in the GMAC driver by the {tx,rx}_delay
properties. Maybe we could then switch to using
{tx,rx}_internal_delay_ps for fine-tuning the delays on the GMAC side
as envisaged in DT bindings [1], and use phy-mode = "rgmii-id"
throughout. Chaoyi, any chance you could ask around in your hardware
team?

Currently though removing the delays at GMAC side altogether causes
unstable link operation - see [2] for example.
