Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your reply.

I still confuse about ethernet-controller.yaml.
It lists 'rgmi', 'rgmii-rxid', 'rgmii-txid' and 'rgmii-id'.

ethernet-controller.yaml
...
      # RX and TX delays are added by the MAC when required
      - rgmii

      # RGMII with internal RX and TX delays provided by the PHY,
      # the MAC should not add the RX or TX delays in this case
      - rgmii-id

      # RGMII with internal RX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
      # should not add an RX delay in this case
      - rgmii-rxid

      # RGMII with internal TX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
      # should not add an TX delay in this case
      - rgmii-txid
...

It seems if MAC has ability to add delay in MAC internal, driver can use these
values to describes the hardware design.

I know this topic had been discussed. I thought for a while to find a solution, but I 
cannot still understand why 'rgmii-id' is correct for HW?

Thanks,
Jacky
