So far all GBit users of the sun8i-emac driver were using the "rgmii"
PHY mode, even though this turns out to be mostly wrong. It just worked
because the PHY driver doesn't do the proper setup (yet).
In fact for most boards the "rgmii-id" or "rgmii-txid" PHY modes are the
correct ones.

To allow the DTs to describe the phy-mode correctly, and to stay
compatible with Linux, at least allow those other RGMII modes in the
driver.

This avoids breakage if mainline DTs will be synced with U-Boot.

An almost identical patch (f1239d8aa84d) was merged into the Linux driver
and has been backported to stable kernels.

Hello Joe,

could we get this into v2021.01, please?

Are you going to take this through your tree?
Or are you OK with me merging this through u-boot-sunxi?
We depend on this for a DT update, which relies on those new PHY modes.

Cheers,
Andre

Feel free to take it through your tree.
