Thank you for the clarification. I chose 1950 here because I find that
the MotorComm yt8xxx Ethernet PHY binding only offer the options of

I suspect the ROCK 4D board might be an exception. Sebastian once
reported that it wouldn't work properly under "rgmii-id". Well, I'm
not sure what strategy to adopt in this case.
