As far as I know, the hardware does support SGMII but it's not yet supported by
the driver. I will drop the SGMII because it's not needed as of now. If in
future support for SGMII is there, I'll add it.

Yes, there is no indication whether MAC has enabled TX delay or not. I have
changed the phy-mode in DT from "rgmii-rxid" to "rgmii-id" as per your
suggestion in previous revision. I will keep Tx Internal delay as it is(getting
configured in MAC) and inside emac_phy_connect() API, while calling
of_phy_connect() instead of passing emac->phy_if (which is rgmii-id as per DT),
I will pass PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID. This will make sure that phy only
enables Rx delay and keep the existing approach of keepping Tx delay in MAC.

Currently, in emac_phy_connect() API,

	/* connect PHY */
	ndev->phydev = of_phy_connect(emac->ndev, emac->phy_node,
				      &emac_adjust_link, 0,
				      emac->phy_if);
I will change it to,

	/* connect PHY */
	ndev->phydev = of_phy_connect(emac->ndev, emac->phy_node,
				      &emac_adjust_link, 0,
				      PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID);

Let me know if this looks OK.
