This is still a global write which enables the delay in all the ports
(as was the case previously)

If that was the case, I would presume people would have reported an
issue that it doesn't work for them..?

That is still the case:

        default:
                pr_err("xMII mode %d not supported\n", mode);
                return -EINVAL;
