I think I may have found the problem. At present, my PHY uses a
general driver, and there is no specific setting for delay-related
registers. The default delay value of PHY is 1ns, which does not meet
the delay requirement of 2ns, after and the MAC side add 500ps delay
(and possibly some delays introduced on the hardware circuit), it just
meets the requirement of 2ns delay.
