Appana,

I certainly can't prototype the solution based on your datasheet and the
code sent... do a sensible proposal, then we can evaluate.

As the IP is separated from the Eth controller, make it a separate
driver (an emulated phy one for instance... even if I don't know if it
makes sense).

I don't know if others have already made such an adaptation layer
between GMII to RGMII but I'm pretty sure it can't be inserted into the
macb driver.

Bye,
