Based on my googling, it seems like Turbo RGMII is a Mediatek-specific
thing for now, but this could become standard and used by other vendors
at some point, so I would be inclined to just extend the phy-mode
property to support trgmii as another interface type.

If you do so, do you also mind proposing an update to the Device Tree
specification:
