It's expected to set the delay in the port node. But yes the value is
global and assigned to every port (in reality this is only assigned to
the unique rgmii cpu port). The switch has only one rgmii port
and one sgmii, that's why I skipped any logic about handling more than
one case with internal delay. If you want I can try to add some logic to
handle this value per port. But again on the switch there is only one
reg to set the delay and the qca8k_phylink_mac_config function use this
only for the rgmii cpu port.
