In my current series "rx_delay" and "tx_delay" would end up 0 and a
delay of 0.2 ns will be programmed (default for that field).
I guess if the phy-mode is RGMII/-ID on VSC8584, 2ns will not be programmed.
This will be a problem for any device not using vsc85xx_config_init

Yes, that is possible, let me respin. That will ensure existing values are not broken
for any VSC85xx user, if they do not have delay properties in the DT.

No need of the structure member, local variables will do.

vsc85xx_internal_delay is more appropriate, will change.

Thanks for the review.
