I have seen what happens to this value, but i have no idea what it
actually means. And without knowing what it means, i cannot say if it
is being used correctly or not. And it could be related to the next
part of my comment...

rgmii-id is generally the value to be used. That indicates the board
needs 2ns delays adding by something, either the MAC or the PHY. And
then i always recommend the MAC driver does nothing, pass the value to
the PHY and let the PHY add the delays.

So try both rgmii and rgmii-id and do a lot of bi directional
transfers. Then look at the reported ethernet frame check sum error
counts, both local and the link peer. I would expect one setting gives
you lots of errors, and the other works much better.
