RX_DELAY_EN switches the RX delay line in; with it clear the line is
bypassed. I checked on the board: with it clear, the link passes
traffic at every RX_DELAY value, including 40 and 80 steps, which fail
with it set; with it set, RX_DELAY applies as measured in the sweep.
With RX_DELAY at 0, enabled and bypassed both pass traffic, so any
difference between them is too small to show at 1000 Mb/s. v2 will
explain this in a comment.
