Ah, I see. Sorry I should have read up on the whole thread. Yes, the Starlight
board with the Microchip phy works with "rgmii-id" as is. And you're right,
with "rgmii-id" my VF1 needs the rx-internal-delay-ps = <900> property too.

Yeah, I don't exactly know the difference, but both boards seem to work fine
with "rgmii-id", so if that is somehow better and/or more correct let's just go
with that.
