[PATCH 2/2] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: fix up PHY mode for fixed RGMII TX delay

The am65-cpsw driver currently sets the SEL_RGMII_IDMODE flag in a MAC's
mode register to enable or disable the TX delay. While this was supported
for earlier generations of the CPSW controller, the datasheets of all
modern TI SoCs using the am65-cpsw MAC state that the TX delay is fixed,
and the SEL_RGMII_IDMODE bit is documented as reserved in most of them.
Furthermore, while it was found that this bit does in fact disable the TX
delay, [1] states that this setting is truly unsupported by TI and not
just undocumented.
Following the clarification of the rgmii* phy-mode values in the Linux
DT bindings in [2], the Linux am65-cpsw driver was changed in [3] to
account for the fixed TX delay by fixing up the mode passed to the PHY
driver; a similar fixup already existed in the TI icssg-prueth driver.
[4] followed up on this by explicitly clearing the SEL_RGMII_IDMODE flag
to handle the case where it is set by the bootloader or other firmware
before Linux.
With the above changes, Device Trees that set the recommended "rgmii-id"
mode are now appearing in Linux 6.17+. Avoid setting the unsupported
SEL_RGMII_IDMODE flag for such Device Trees, and instead fix up the PHY
interface mode, thus aligning the U-Boot driver with the Linux kernel.
