Yes, this is intended to add all of RGMII cases to the code.
I add the cases to all of get_pinmode() except LD11, because LD11 doesn't
support RGMII due to the constraint of the hardware.

When RGMII phy mode is specified in the devicetree for LD11, the driver
will abort with the message "invalid phy-mode setting".

If it is clear, I'll add this to the next commit message.

Thank you,
