That's wrong, I think I have reply it in a wrong way, it should be

RGMII_TX_DLINE_STEP -> tx_config
RGMII_TX_DLINE_CODE -> tx_code
RGMII_RX_DLINE_STEP -> rx_config
RGMII_RX_DLINE_CODE -> rx_code

The RGMII_[RX|TX]_DLINE_STEP register selects which step is used for
rx/tx delay. The RGMII_[RX|TX]_DLINE_CODE register provides the factor
used for calculating the delay. These register are computed in the
spacemit_dwmac_detected_delay_value(). And finally we can got a delay
with "code * step / 10 * 0.9" for both rx and tx.

OK, I will use a local variable here.
