Section 6.2.3 RGMII signaling and encoding

Note that RGMII requires an external delay of between 1.5 ns and 2 ns
on TXC and RXC.

So it sounds like the switch only supports PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII.

If the port is in MAC mode, you should pass this phy-mode to the PHY
when you connect to it. The PHY can then add the delay if needed.

If however, the port is in PHY mode, and it is asked to do RGMII other
than PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, you should report an error. It cannot
do it.
