What does your device tree look like? What are you setting phy-mode to
in the rgmii case? As i said, "rgmii" is pretty unusual, you normally
need "rgmii-id".

Something in the system needs to add 2ns delays to the RGMII clock
lines. Generally in device tree you pass phy-mode = "rgmii-id"; The
MAC configures itself for RGMII, and passes
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID to the PHY when it is attached. The PHY
then inserts the delays.

What is inserting the delays in your system?
