Yes, that is correct. My earlier question/comment/concern about a huge speed
difference between rgmii-id mode and rmgmii doesn't seem to exist when more
careful experiments and testing methods are used. I'll elaborate some more
below. And I apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm still a bit surprised that my first test method (web-based, like fast.com
or self-hosted internal download speeds) gave such different results from more
comprehensive and careful testing with iperf3. While certainly web-based
methods can't target a particular interface, nor do they have many other
potential adjustments or refinements (UDP vs TCP, etc), they have been and
continue to be a useful tool for me to get quick information about the status
and health of my network and its devices.

Thanks for the tip.
I remain keenly interested in seeing a patch for the Hinlink/LinkStar devices
make it into the mainline kernel. Please let me know how I can help your
(and others) efforts to accomplish that.
Regards,
Erik
