[PATCH net-next 6/9] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: warn about legacy RGMII PHY modes

The qcom-ethqos driver is moving towards using "rgmii-id" together
with PHY-provided delays. However, existing DTBs use "rgmii" and
"rgmii-txid" and must remain supported for backwards compatibility.

Warn when either of these legacy PHY modes is used to encourage users
to migrate to updated DTBs using "rgmii-id".
