fifo-depth yes. But some delays follow a common pattern.

e.g.

- tx-delay: Delay value for RGMII bridge TX clock.
            Valid values are between 0 to 7, that maps to
            417, 717, 1020, 1321, 1611, 1913, 2215, 2514 ps
            Default value is 4, which corresponds to 1611 ps
- rx-delay: Delay value for RGMII bridge RX clock.
            Valid values are between 0 to 7, that maps to
            273, 589, 899, 1222, 1480, 1806, 2147, 2464 ps
            Default value is 2, which corresponds to 899 ps

You could implement checking against a table of valid values, which is
something you need for your PHY. You could even consider making it a
2D table, and return the register value, not the delay?
