Despite there only being one register, it should be a property of the
port. If future chips have multiple RGMII ports, i expect there will
be multiple registers. To avoid confusion in the future, we should
make this a proper to the port it applies to. So assuming the RGMII
port is port 0:

                                #address-cells = <1>;
                                #size-cells = <0>;
                                port@0 {
                                        reg = <0>;
                                        label = "cpu";
                                        ethernet = <&gmac1>;
                                        phy-mode = "rgmii";
                                        fixed-link {
                                                speed = 1000;
                                                full-duplex;
                                        };
					rx-internal-delay-ps = <2000>;
					tx-internal-delay-ps = <2000>;
                                };

                                port@1 {
                                        reg = <1>;
                                        label = "lan1";
                                        phy-handle = <&phy_port1>;
                                };

                                port@2 {
                                        reg = <2>;
                                        label = "lan2";
                                        phy-handle = <&phy_port2>;
                                };

                                port@3 {
                                        reg = <3>;
                                        label = "lan3";
                                        phy-handle = <&phy_port3>;
                                };

                                port@4 {
                                        reg = <4>;
                                        label = "lan4";
                                        phy-handle = <&phy_port4>;
                                };

                                port@5 {
                                        reg = <5>;
                                        label = "wan";
                                        phy-handle = <&phy_port5>;
                                };
                        };
                };
        };

You also should validate that phy-mode is rgmii and only rgmii. You
get into odd situations if it is any of the other three rgmii modes.
