Why is this needed? When the MAC driver connects to the PHY, it passes
phy-mode. For RGMII, this is one of:

linux/phy.h: PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII,
linux/phy.h: PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID,
linux/phy.h: PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID,
linux/phy.h: PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID,

This tells you if you need to add a delay for the RX clock line, the
TX clock line, or both. That is all you need to know for basic RGMII
delays.

ethernet-phy.yaml defines rx-internal-delay-ps. Please use that.

Is this property mandatory? If not, please document what value is used
if it is not present.

tx-internal-delay-ps

And please define the default.

> + motorcomm,tx-delay-fe-ps:

So you can only set the TX delay? What is RX delay set to? Same as 1G?
I would suggest you call this motorcomm,tx-internal-delay-fe-ps, so
that it is similar to the standard tx-internal-delay-ps.

These two i can see being useful. But everything afterwards seems like
just copy/paste from vendor SDK for things which the hardware can do,
but probably nobody ever uses. Do you have a board using any of the
following properties?

PHYs are on MDIO busses, so i would expect to see an MDIO bus here,
not Ethernet.
