This is only applicable to some devices so you need to restrict this only
to those devices.

And only when you enable MAC TX delay you need to change emac->phy_if to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID
if it was PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID.

No, this is not OK.

Please keep this as emac->phy_if.

In prueth_config_rgmiidelay(), you can change emac->phy_if to
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID only if it was RGMII mode
*and* MAC TX delay was enabled.
