Hi John
Is this comment correct? Reading the code, all this switch statement
does is select between RGMII, MII and RMII. It has nothing to do with
delay. I suspect the PHY is doing the delay, not the MAC, since you
pass the phy mode to of_phy_connect().
If my interpretation of the code is correct, you might also want to
handle PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID
which are also RGMII modes.
