Yes, anything other than rgmii-id is generally wrong. That maps to
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID.

If the firmware has been fixed, i would actually do something like:

	err = of_get_phy_mode(pdev->dev.of_node, &priv->phy_interface);
	if (err)
		return err;

	if (of_machine_is_compatible("socionext,developer-box") &&
	    priv->phy_interface != PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID) {
	    	pr_warn(FW_WARN, "Working around broken firmware. Please upgrade your firmware");
		priv->phy_interface = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID;
	}
