No problem, thanks a lot for taking the time to help with the testing!

I noticed you have a patch 70ca054e82b5 ("net: phy: motorcomm: Disable
rgmii rx delay") in your tree, hence I you please confirm the tests were
done with that commit reverted?

Please try with "rgmii-id" first. I added "rgmii-txid" to have a
fallback solution in case the former cannot be used.

I missed this in v1 as the gmac handling was done exclusively in
jh7100-common. Thanks for noticing!

I wasn't sure "rgmii-id" can be used for both boards and I didn't want
to unconditionally enable gmac on Starlight before getting a
confirmation that this actually works.

If there is no way to make it working with "rgmii-id" (w/ or w/o
adjusting rx-internal-delay-ps), than we should switch to "rgmii-txid".

Thanks,
