Hi Michal

Thanks for testing. I will post a different fix very soon.

This i think is something different. What looks odd is
imx6dl-yapp4-common.dtsi

&fec {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet>;
        phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
        phy-reset-gpios = <&gpio1 25 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        phy-reset-duration = <20>;
        phy-supply = <&sw2_reg>;
        phy-handle = <&ethphy0>;
        status = "okay";


	mdio {

               switch@10 {
                        compatible = "qca,qca8334";
                        reg = <10>;

                        switch_ports: ports {
                                #address-cells = <1>;
                                #size-cells = <0>;

                                ethphy0: port@0 {
                                        reg = <0>;
                                        label = "cpu";
                                        phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
                                        ethernet = <&fec>;

Both the FEC and the CPU port are set to use rgmii-id". So we are
getting double delays.

Try changing one of these to plain rgmii.
