Currently ICSSG driver is getting upstreamed for AM65 SR2.0 device, so I don't
think there is any need for any device related restriction. Once support for
other devices are enabled for upstream, we can modify this accordingly.

I checked the latest Technical Reference Manual [1] (Section 5.1.3.4.49, Table
5-624) for AM65 Silicon Revision 2.0.
Below is the description in Table 5-624
BIT : 24
Field : RGMII0_ID_MODE
Type : R/W
Reset : 0h
Description : Controls the PRU_ICSSG0 RGMII0 port internal transmit delay
0h - Internal transmit delay is enabled
1h - Reserved
The TX internal delay is always enabled and couldn't be disabled as 1h is
reserved. So hardware support for disabling TX internal delay is not there.
As, TX internal delay is always there, there is no need to enable it in MAC or
PHY. So no need of API prueth_config_rgmiidelay().
My approach to handle delay would be as below.
*) Keep phy-mode = "rgmii-id" in DT as asked by Andrew.
*) Let TX internal delay enabled in Hardware.
*) Let PHY configure RX internal delay.
*) Remove prueth_config_rgmiidelay() API is there is no use of this. TX
Internal delay is always enabled.
*) Instead of calling prueth_config_rgmiidelay() API in prueth_netdev_init()
API, add below if condition.
if(emac->phy_if == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID)
emac->phy_if == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID
This will check if phy-mode is "rgmii-id", then change the phy-mode to
"rgmii-rxid". The same emac->phy_if is passed to emac_phy_connect which passes
emac->phy_if to phylib. So that PHY will only enable RX internal delay and TX
internal delay is always enabled by default(in Hardware)
As of now ICSSG driver is getting upstreamed with support for only AM65 SR2.0,
In future when ICSSG driver starts supporting other devices, we can modify this
condition to something like below
if(device_is_AM65 && emac->phy_if == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID)
emac->phy_if == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID
So that, for other devices, phy-mode should remain as it is, as other devices
don't have hardware restriction.
Please let me know if this is the right approach.
