[PATCH 0/2] am65-cpsw-nuss phy_interface_t fixup for fixed TX delay

[Matthias Schiffer]

Following a discussion on the LKML [1], there has been a clarification
of the correct use of the rgmii(/-rxid/-txid/-it) phy-modes [2] - namely,
that they don't describe the interface at the MAC or PHY boundary, but
whether the PCB traces add delays or not (where it is
implementation-defined whether the delays are added on the MAC or PHY
side in the latter case).

Accordingly, a fixup has been implemented in the am65-cpsw-nuss driver
to make it follow the clarified rules [3]; apply the same change to
U-Boot. Backwards compatibility is preserved: using an old DTB with
the wrong phy-mode only results in a warning message, but keeps the
Ethernet working. With a new DTB from Linux 6.17+ that sets the mode to
rgmii-id, these changes are necessary to avoid using an unsupported/
reserved configuration. See the commit message of patch 2/2 for some
additional detail.

I'm not sure whether this should go into master or next - if no DTS from
Linux 6.17+ are imported in the v2025.10 cycle, next is probably
sufficient.
