I chose it like this for simpler configuration of the skew settings. The
PHY supports fixed 2ns delays which is enough for RGMII. And this is
configured based on phy-mode="rgmii-id". As this delay depends also on
soldering length I consider it better this way.

The other variant would have been using phy-mode="rgmii" + skew settings.

Also, same phy-mode is used by rzg2ul-smarc-som.dtsi which is using the
same PHY.
