Well, to be clear, I was suggesting:

/* Set the RGMII RX and TX clock skews individually, according to the PHY
 * interface type, to:
 *  * 0.2 ns (their default, and lowest, hardware value) if delays should
 *    not be enabled
 *  * 2.0 ns (which causes the data to be sampled at exactly half way between
 *    clock transitions at 1000 Mbps) if delays should be enabled
 */
static int vsc85xx_rgmii_set_skews(struct phy_device *phydev, u32 rgmii_cntl,
				   u16 rgmii_rx_delay_mask,
				   u16 rgmii_tx_delay_mask)
{
	u16 rgmii_rx_delay_pos = ffs(rgmii_rx_delay_mask) - 1;
	u16 rgmii_tx_delay_pos = ffs(rgmii_tx_delay_mask) - 1;
	u16 mask = rgmii_rx_delay_mask | rgmii_tx_delay_mask;
	u16 reg_val = 0;
	int rc;

	/* For traffic to pass, the VSC8502 family needs the RX_CLK disable bit
	 * to be unset for all PHY modes, so do that as part of the paged
	 * register modification.
	 */
	if (rgmii_cntl == VSC8502_RGMII_CNTL)
		mask |= VSC8502_RGMII_RX_CLK_DISABLE;

	mutex_lock(&phydev->lock);

	if (phydev->interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID ||
	    phydev->interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID)
		reg_val |= RGMII_CLK_DELAY_2_0_NS << rgmii_rx_delay_pos;
	if (phydev->interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID ||
	    phydev->interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID)
		reg_val |= RGMII_CLK_DELAY_2_0_NS << rgmii_tx_delay_pos;

	rc = phy_modify_paged(phydev, MSCC_PHY_PAGE_EXTENDED_2,
			      rgmii_cntl, mask, reg_val);

	mutex_unlock(&phydev->lock);

	return rc;
}

static int vsc85xx_default_config(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	int rc;

	phydev->mdix_ctrl = ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO;
