The MAC only has add the TX delay and it can not be modified. MAC and PHY are both set the TX delay cause transmission problems. So just disable TX delay in PHY, when use rgmii to attach to external phy, set PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID to phy drivers. And it is does not matter to internal phy.

The language of the comment seems a bit weird to me. It makes more sense if it read "as it does not matter to the internal PHY".

That being said, its a bit of a nit. With our without changing the comment:
