Aah, thanks for the pointer. 

At least socfpga_cyclone5_socrates.dts is in the mainline, but it does
not have any skew configuration. That may explain why the board seems
to have problems with ethernet... (or not).

Are there suitable default values?

u-boot uses these defaults:

include/configs/socfpga_common.h:#define CONFIG_KSZ9021_CLK_SKEW_VAL
0xf0f0
include/configs/socfpga_common.h:#define CONFIG_KSZ9021_DATA_SKEW_VAL
0x0

...that should correspond to txc-skew-ps == rxc-skew-ps == 3000, all
other skew values == 0?

Could someone with socrates board and network problems test if this
makes any difference?
