The mode passed to phy_gmii_sel_mode by am65-cpsw is the same value that is
passed to the Ethernet PHY driver, so a case where rgmii_id == 1 and would be
reset to 0 is unreachable (PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID and
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID can't occur with the fixup in am65-cpsw).
Therefore we could return EINVAL here if PHY_GMII_SEL_FIXED_TX_DELAY is set and
rgmii_id == 1 instead of effectively ignoring the mode, which seems a bit more
robust to me.

Best,
Matthias
