[PATCH v2] arm64: dts: rockchip: Change ethernet TXD timing delay value

[PATCH v2] arm64: dts: rockchip: Change ethernet TXD timing delay value

[Dongjin Kim]

Very poor network performance is observed on the ODROID-M1 Board
(REV 1.0 20220613) when running iperf3 (under 200Mbits/sec), and
this problem can be resolved after changing the value of TXD
timing to 0x35 from 0x4f.

Can you try changing phy-mode to "rgmii-id" ?

Thank you for suggesting me to try 'rgmii-id' again.

I'd remember that 'rgmii-id' didn't work with the very early version of
the board, however your suggestion works. Let me test the change with
more boards and submit the new patch when it's done.

Thanks a lot.
Dongjin Kim.
