That is a legitimate use case which can require the MAC to add delays,
but i generally try to get the switch on the other end to add the
delays, just to keep with the uniform setup.

Also, please take a look at ethernet-controller.yaml, these should be
called rx-internal-delay-ps & tx-internal-delay-ps.
