Andrew,

One of my colleagues tracked this down for me. This device tree option is in place
because there are several different ways to do the clock and data with respect to
RGMII. This controls the delay introduced for the RX clock with respect to the data.
Without this, RX will not work with Micrel PHYs. Thanks.
