Just to clarify, the DT binding says:

  * "rgmii-txid" (RGMII with internal TX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
     should not add an TX delay in this case)

I'm assuming this applies from the device node's point of view?
In this case the "PHY" is STMMAC, and the "MAC" is the switch chip?
Is that right?


Thanks
ChenYu
