And that is the intention of the port. I didn't want the binding to be
set on the switch node but on the rgmii node. Correct me if I'm wrong
but isn't what this patch already do?

In of_rgmii_delay I get the ports node of the current switch, iterate
every port, find the one with the phy-mode set to "rgmii-id" and check
if it's present any value. And save the value in the priv struct.
The actual delay is applied in the phylink_mac_config only if the mode
is set to rgmii-id. (the current code set by default a delay of 3000
with rgmii-id, so this is just to make this value configurable)
