O.K, so this does not do what i initially thought it was doing. I was
thinking it was to fine tune the delay, ti,syscon-rgmii-delay would be
a small pico second value to allow the 2ns delay to be tuned to the
board.

But now i think this is actually inserting the full 2ns delay?

The problem is, you also pass phy_if to of_phy_connect() so the PHY
will also insert the delay if requested. So you end up with double
delays for rgmii_id and rgmii_txid.

The general recommendation is that the PHY inserts the delay, based on
phy-mode. The MAC does not add a delay, so i suggest you always write
0 here, just to ensure the system is in a deterministic state, and the
bootloader and not being messing around with things.
