Oh, I do remember the regressions when the KSZ9031 driver started
implementing that :-(  See commit a6f51f2efa742df0 ("ravb: Add support
for explicit internal clock delay configuration") and the commits it
links to.

That's more or less what we had before, cfr. commit 9b81018185965a30
("arm64: dts: renesas: rcar-gen3: Convert EtherAVB to explicit delay
handling")...
