Thank you for your information.
The RGMII delay of AST2600 has a lot of steps can be configured.
And the delay value of each MAC has different.
Each MAC has 64 steps to configure RGMII TX/RX delay.
Therefore, I use these properties as index to configure the register to reduce 
computing in driver.
Or I do not use the property that defined in ethernet-controller.yaml, I 
create the property that defined by myself?

Thanks,
Jacky
